It's all about image. And the BeOS oozes coolness, energy and speed - everything we need to reach our target demographics. Although competition with Pepsi is driving the adoption of advanced technology in the Cola Wars, sources inside both Coke and Pepsico admit there is fear of an even greater threat they are both preparing for.

Scalpers are price-gouging the citizens.
Times Square will be closed to motor vehicles and temporary seating will be erected to hold the expected crowd of 20,000. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates reportedly attempted to purchase Times Square from New York City in an effort to stop the BeOS demonstration from being broadcast. However, the mayor refused the offer, partially due to the fact he was pissed off because he was up late the night before trying to resolve IRQ conflicts with his new sound card on his home computer, which currently runs Windows 95. For the first time ever, New York City ticket scalpers have been making a fortune selling tickets to PC Expo, a computer industry trade show. Experts claim the presence of Be, Inc. at the Expo is driving the demand.
