Yes, me too - was 'beeb' a common US-ism for BeBox?
I'd never heard it.
Nor have I. To me, even in the States, "beeb" is a BBC Micro (we
supported it along with the Apple II and C-64 at the company I wrote
games for in 1984 - the only Beeb I ever saw in person was our
development box. Never saw one in someone's home.)

maybe just
your Beeb's world will end in 2011. Zappo zzzzzzzsssssttt
That confused me at first becasue 'Beeb' has a totally differnt (and
possibly classic-computer-related) meaning over here...
