     ***  THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22nd MEETING AGENDA  ***
.       --  BeOS REINCARNATIONS: ZETA and HAIKU  --
  
Welcome back to all. Hope everyone had an enjoyable summer.
We look forward to another year of interesting meetings.
  
It gives me great pleasure to announce that PASUG member Ben
Bowers plans to attend the September 22nd meeting, following
a rather lengthy convalescence. We wish him a continued return to a 100%
healthy condition. All PASUG members are urged to come on out to the
meeting Thursday evening to welcome Ben back on the road to full recovery
and renewed PASUG participation.
  
In addition to his support for OS/2, Ben has also been a long-
time fan of (the now defunct) BeOS which has been reincarnated as a
commercial operating system named ZETA being developed in Germany by
YellowTab Co. (www.yellowtab.com). Another parallel open source project
named HAIKU is under development by groups of volunteer programmers all
around the world.
  
At the September meeting, Ben will conduct a presentation and demo of ZETA
1.0, YellowTab's recent first commercial product release from the BeOS
family. We will examine how YellowTab's description of the ZETA 1.0
product compares to their claims, quoted as follows ....
  
 "ZETA is a very fast operating system written from the ground
  up to get more out of your hardware than any other. With a
  true micro kernel is of only 640 KB and a 64-bit journalling
  filesystem to make things fly. Never before was it so easy to
  create MP3's or encode and decode videos. Never before was it
  so easy to partition a hard drive or create CDs. Needless to
  say, ZETA is also virus-free leaving you to concentrate on
  getting things done.
  
  Discover the TRUE power within your computer - install ZETA
  today. It's the cheapest upgrade you'll ever do! Install ZETA
  in just a few mouse clicks and be working in a matter of
  minutes. And you don't even have to worry about your old
  system and data - use the ZETA Bootmanager to install and
  manage other operating systems."
  
Ben will also briefly discuss the status of the ongoing HAIKU open source
project, which is being redone. It's progressing steadily, but will
probably not be ready for release any time in the near future.
  
Other March agenda items include announcements, news & new
software releases, Q&A session, and possible 50/50 raffle.
Soft drinks, pretzels & chips will be available.
