> I proposed a `Plan 9 for dummies'

Firstly,
even _I_ do not have such a low opinion of myself that I would
demean myself by buying a book called
"Perl for Pillocks", "Threads for Thickos" or "DBMSs for Dickheads",
even were the subject matter of inordinate interest to me.

Secondly
<intellectual-snobbery>

Look what happened to Unix.

How about "Plan9 for the Perspicacious"?
