Will there really be a need for a BeOS development with the sale of Be to
Palm? Is BeOS even still available? It might not be worth the time to
develop for BeOS until you see what Palm decides to do with the software.

hrmmmm ... do you have a working Windows development environment? I'm
running WinXP at home, but don't have any of the compilers or anything
yet, so all my work for the first part is going to be done under Unix ...
but someone that knows something about building makefiles for Windows, and
compiling under it, will definitely be a major asset ;)
