Startling to see Plan 9 advertised, full page with 'Source for only $350',
in Embedded Systems Programming of all places.  Is this some deep plot
to produce a Plan-9 controlled toaster, or just AT&T marketing striking
out in odd directions?  Has anyone seen the ads anywhere else?

	I have seen the ad in Dr. Dobb's Journal (BTW I knew of
the existance of Plan 9 some years ago, when they published an article
about PLan 9 by the authors).

	I think such magazines are the right place to advertise
a distributred system. Think of the typical PC Magazine/PC World/Byte/etc.
reader seeing an advertisement of an OS without a spreadsheet and 
with a strange name, unable to run DOS applications...
