QNX Available Free! -- 9:50 am CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

J.t.Qbe, reporting from sunny western Michigan: Yesterday QNX Software Systems Ltd., maker of the QNX operating system, released its OS as a free download. QNX is a Unixlike operating system which has frequently been used in embedded devices. You can download a demo disk which contains the OS, GUI and web browser all on a 1.44 MB floppy disk. The OS itself has been reported to be quite stable. You can download a 24MB Windows-based installer or a 91MB CD image here.

Rats! I never thought that being in Michigan would ever be a disadvantage, but now I'm away from my T1 connection and CD burner at work! Oh well. Vacation will be over soon enough.

A.T. Hun comments: If memory serves me correctly, A friend of mine and I ran QNX on an original IBM PC way, way back circa 1982. You could even multitask on it. Memories . . .
