New BeOS Web Resource: The BeOS Finder
Recently added to BeOS news page Believe is the Believe Finder. Basically it is a combination of Frequently Asked Questions and Useful Links organized by topic. It is incredibly useful for finding answers and in-depth information on all aspects of the BeOS. Wherever you see that magnifying glass icon, you know you can quickly link to the Believe Finder.

Who can join?
Anyone who uses the BeOS, is interested in the BeOS, has heard of the BeOS or can spell BeOS. Obviously, if you're in the Westchester, NY area it will be a bit easier to get to the meetings. But we plan to have some online meetings as well.

Does it cost anything to join?
No.

What is your mission?
Primarily, to have a good time and learn about the BeOS. Additionally:

• Demonstrating how the Be OS will lighten your workload, improve your personal life and in general make you a better person.
• Designing applications for the BeOS that are not boring.
• Educating people on the basics of using the BeOS
• Spreading propaganda in other ways, shapes and forms.
• Infiltrate wintel boxes with the BeOS, once that port is shipping.

How do I join, or get more info?
Send email to be_os@geocities.com. You'll be put on a list to receive our infrequent mailings.
