OK, ahem... then maybe I should offer my apologies to that guy since I
was convinced this was not possible. :-)))

Agree, but there's no support from Be anymore, or did I misunderstand?
:-(

I guess they'll have some discussions with Be people in Frankfurt just
like you suggested. Maybe afterwards they'll make a final decision? I'm
just guessing.

Sounds impressive.

Thx for all the info.

As far as I can tell, the level of support hasn't changed - this seems to
be pure assumption and speculation.  (If there really is an end to support,
somebody post the announcement from Be)

If I'm not mistaken, then I read it on LeBuzz and in an email from
someone at Be. I'm afraid it could be official. :(

I can't find anything at Le Buzz - do you have a URL? Likewise
for the Be email? Or was it sent to you personally?

A brief look at Be Depot:
http://www.be.com/products/freebeos/distributors.html
was this, regarding BeOS 5 Pro Edition, however:

" ...Distributors will also provide technical support and customer
service.
(Additional features and support are decided by the individual
distributors)... "

Well, until SOMEONE can provide something stronger than I think I read it
somewhere (URL perhaps?), it sounds like hearsay and rumour to me...
