==================================================
B-Day! is coming. See a live demonstration of the
BeBox computer from Be, Inc. February 1996
Meet and talk to members of the B-Team
==================================================
The BeBox is a new dual PowerPC, multitasking, multimedia, internetworking
computer from Be Inc. This new technology is of interest to anyone who
wants a high-performance low-cost system especially suited for hardware
hacking (the BeBox includes a 'geekport(tm)'), multimedia (fast graphics,
good sound), and internetworking (four serial ports and TCP/IP-related
software included).
The BeBox is currently shipping to accepted developers for about $1700 for
a fully configured system without monitor. Consumer price is expected to
be under $3,000 when the machine ships to the public. For more
information see
http://www.be.com

Firebug, the First BeBox Users' Group is sponsoring a live demo of this
system, tentatively set for Sat., Feb. 24th, 1996 in Bellingham, WA
(midpoint between Vancouver BC and Seattle WA.). Details to be announced.
The BeBox is attracting a large number of developers from the Amiga, Mac
and NeXT communities, with about 1000 applying for developer status so
far. Major companies, like Adobe Systems Incorporated, are taking a
serious look at the possibility of porting major software to the BeBox
system.
If you are interested in attending (space may be limited) send subject
line "I Wanna C Be" to Firebug@abiogenesis.com and state how many people
will be attending.
Be there!
