i think good ideas have some inertia, but not always enough; [this is a sore
point with mac people :] a few talks here and there and an article or two is
not enough to inject plan9 ideas into the mainstream. moreover, linux people
are content with their sand box [david tilbrook calls this "the tyranny of
adequacy"], and hurd has yet to work through the features of the
incompatible time sharing system, never mind p9. [heh heh]
