I almost thought of buying a copy of ArcaOS too.  But I really don't think I'd actually use it for anything, so I decided not to spend the money on it.

I was different in the 90s though..  Around 1998 (or was it 1999?), I bought a copy of BeOS R4.5 (back when Be Inc. was still operating) and installed it on my secondary PC.  I really liked how fast and responsive BeOS was (and I thought its UI looked awesome, too).  I would have loved to see BeOS gain some serious marketshare, but by the late 90s I think it was too late for that.  At the time I didn't mind buying a copy to show my support for it though.
