Issue #15      January 12, 2001      Blappy New Fear! What's New For you BeOS software junkies, BeBits has added some fantastic software to their store, such as dBe (for you audio folks -- only $39), Becasso (for you image editors -- only $29!) and Jabber for BeOS (handy for everyone at a thrifty $15). Go check 'em out. The Hidden Question The last hidden question was, "Who played Lieutenant W. D. Kivel in 1964's 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb'?" The answer is Glenn Beck. About 50 people answered correctly (don't forget to include your address!), and here are the fabulous five who won Be baseball caps: Tobin Fricke -- California Nancy Harkinson -- Florida Ian Andrew -- United Kingdom Oliver Foerster -- Germany Nate LaCourse -- Michigan The Hidden Question Rules: Somewhere in the newsletter there will be a hidden trivia question. If you've registered your copy of BeOS 5, send an e-mail to hidden@be.com with the correct answer (and your name and address, please) and you will be entered into a drawing to win some nifty BeOS swag. PLUS your name will be announced in the next newsletter as one of the Big Winners. That is all. People -- Launch E-mail or URLs Lickity-Split Ever want to write someone an e-mail, but can't remember their address? So you go into your People folder, find their name and take note of their e-mail address either by memorization or writing it down... STOP! There's a much easier way. If you haven't noticed, on the left-hand side of a Person file, "E-mail" is underlined -- which means it's a link, silly. Click it and viola, it creates an outgoing message for you with that person's e-mail address! Furthermore, the URL in a Person file is also underlined, so if they've got a web address, simply click "URL" to get to it. It's just that easy! Check it Out Read the first part of BeGroovy's interview with Be's CEO Jean-Louis Gassee, wherein JLG chats about Be in 2000 and the exciting possibilities for the future. If you want some of that scrumptious inner scoop, this is the interview to read! Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 - April 19): You need to be challenged and pushed beyond the rather narrow limits that have been set for you. Don't listen to anyone who says you should not be so competitive or ambitious. What does your mother know, anyway? TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): If someone tries to talk you into parting with cash, watch out. According to the planets, the best place for your money is in your pocket, where it should remain until well into the new year. Remember, there's no such thing as a sure thing, and anyone who says there is, is a liar. Hey, remember that movie "Liar Liar" with Jim Carrey, where he is suddenly unable to lie about anything, and he runs around all frustrated and slapping his hand over his mouth when truthful stuff comes flying out? That was kind of a cute movie, even though it was stupid in a lot of ways. I mean, are we honestly supposed to believe that a professional woman working in an office would wear braids all over her head as a hairstyle? Stuff like that really annoys me. GEMINI (May 21 - June 21): You can dish it out, but you can't take it. That's so annoying. CANCER (June 22 - July 22): Your obsession with Glenn Beck is getting out of hand. Your co-workers have begun to whisper behind your back. There's a possibility that you could lose your job. Do you really want that Edwin creep from Accounting to get your promotion? Now take down the posters, throw away the homemade action figures, and get back to work. LEO (July 23 - Aug 22): I can't help but think that this is all your fault. VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 22): The planets indicate a lack of rich milk chocolate, tasty nougat and peanut-buttery goodness. Better run to the store. LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 23): Perhaps a trip somewhere is in order. Somewhere warm, with lots of sand and ocean and fruity drinks with little brightly colored umbrellas in them. Nights spent dancing under the stars, taking moonlit swims and falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore and the smell of salt water. Yes, I think I'll book myself a flight. SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 21): You thought you were hungry, but it turns out you really weren't. It'll happen again. No biggie. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21): You've been allowing someone to sass you a little too much lately. You need to lay down the law about this, or it's not going to get better. The conversations you've had haven't done a bit of good, and you know why. Your cat doesn't understand a word you're saying. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19): You won't lack confidence while the sun is transiting your birth sign. However, now that Mercury, planet of the mind, has moved on, you may lack common sense. That could cost you financially if you don't keep an eye on your business partners. Vinny the Nose has been looking a little nervous lately. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18): I'm not comfortable giving you your horoscope right now. I mean it, I really don't want to talk about it. I'm not in a good space. PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20): Be careful -- those have seeds in them.
