I run Plan 9 at home.  The company I work for uses Plan 9.  `<gasp!>'
I think we're the only one ;-)

Well, it used to be bidirectionally gatewayed with the 9fans list;
I don't think this is happening any more.  I'm cc-ing this to 9fans
for comment/elucidation.

I guess I should do another release of 9wm one of these days.  It's
been ``1.2pre'' for over a year now ;-)  I guess I should just say,
well, that _was_ 1.2, and here's 1.3.  Though, there aren't that
many changes that I've made -- a few bug fixes.  Might be time for
a ``maintenance release''.  I'm such a procrastinator...
