Well.. i could say:

- When in Windows you start closing apps by accidentaly hitting Alt+F4 to change to an app you think it's in another workspace...

But the real answer is:

You can NEVER spend too much time in BeOS, quite the opposite icon_biggrin.gif

when you right-click window tabs to make them go behind.

when you've got three cracks in your monitor because you beat up your computer when it freezez or is slow in other OSes (i'm tryin to keep cool but y'know)

when you want more workspaces (gaah!)

when your hand turns snow-white and your finger stucks in a pointing gesture (ok kill me)

when you think super-mario world is state of the art

...when you miss having to hit "CTRL + ALT + DEL" or "RESET" at least twice a day.

...when, in Windows, after pressing "CTRL + ALT + DEL" you search for the KILL button.

...when you open your CD player app in other OS'es to rip your CDs.

...when you keep shutting down applications by clicking in the area where you usually expect to click on the almighty "BeOS" button.

...when you realize that you're supposed to perform Disk Defragmenter once in a while.

...when you wait for Disk Defragmenter to finish, because you assume it's ready in only a few seconds.

...your "to-do list" is growing to rediculous levels because you refuse to reboot to Windows to work with Photoshop, Cakewalk SONAR, MODPlugTracker, SoundForge and all the other things that were never ported to, and will probably never be ported to, BeOS.

Okay... maybe that's just me...

When you have to day-dream about the bootprocess of BeOS to get up from bed.

or

When you communicate with people by using Bmessage
