At ECTS, Europe's answer to E3, Be Inc, finally decided to show off some of the gaming and multimedia capabilities of it's OS. They demo'd Blender, a freeware 3D modeling and rendering program for Windows, Linux and BeOS, and several games, including Quake 2, Quake 3, and Civilization: Call to Power. They say Quake 3 isn't quite ready to be released yet (the frame rate is bad and the mouse is messed up) but it does run and looks good. I've played with BeOS a bit, and it is quite cool. Check it out if you get the chance. Thanks Peter.
