BE DOPE NEWS (BDN) A sharp-eyed Be Dope reader emailed this report:

Watch last week's episode of E.R. carefully and you'll catch a glimpse of the BeOS! There is a scene where an employee of NASA is giving a presentation to some docs, and he has a big video screen behind him. They never really focus on the screen, but since I taped the show, I was able to watch frame by frame and confirm that it was indeed the BeOS up there! Cool!

As is widely known, NASA uses the BeOS extensively on a number of projects. I am curious if the E.R. people did their research on this one used the BeOS in the shot at the suggestion of NASA or if a BeOS fan is lurking on the technical crew of E.R. and slipped it in. If you work for either of those organizations and have an answer, let me know!
