   I found a web site that's offering BeOS 4.0, 4.5, and 5.03 Pro   
   (http://store.yahoo.com/purplus/beos.html if you're interested). Their   
   prices are... well, I don't know what BeOS is selling for these days so   
   I can't compare it to the market - ~US$13 for 4.0, ~US$15 for 4.5, and   
   ~US$23 for 5.03. My questions:   
      
   1) Is it worth my money to get v.4.0 and/or 4.5?   
   2) What's the differences between these versions?   
   3) Do apps written for v.5 generally work on older versions?   
   4) Does anyone know anything about removing Linux from a Mac without   
   formatting?
