Not that I think YellowTab are necessarily the right people to make it - I'm certainly not inspired by their (Bernd's) ability to alienate significant swathes of the developer community. But I'd still love to think some company might one day do the BeBox name justice with a new system. Just FYI too, in addition to my post about the <a href="http://www.bebox.nu/news.php?lookat=61" rel="nofollow">10th BeBox anniversary</a> at The BeBox Zone that you referenced on OSNews, I've also blogged a little more about the <a href="http://www.sgi.nu/diary/2005/10/06/10-years-of-the-bebox/" rel="nofollow">BeBox anniversary</a> on my personal blog.

It's a bad advice to YellowTAB. It would be a waste of effort and money. People don't want "geek boxes", people want computers that work and interoperate perfectly with other computers. The reality is much more flat than we geeks want it to be. These things don’t pay Thom. It’s a bad advice to YellowTAB. It would be a waste of effort and money.
