I remember a visit by Gasseé and a team of BeBox engineers to the PowerPC design center in Austin, where they demo'ed the yet-to-be released early version of the BeBox and OS. We were all duly impressed by the speed and responsiveness of the system. At one point they were demoing that it really was running multiple processors by opening a control panel that showed the processor activity, and clicking a button to disable one of the processors, which instantly doubled the load on the other processor. Someone in the crowd asked "What if you disable the other processor, too?", and they said "I don't know -- let's see." The system promptly crashed ;-)
