Well, I made a quick video of Plan 9 in action last week, 
thought I'd share it.
The video (at http://digi.nuwen.net/Plan9.mpeg) shows
some really basic things you can do with Plan 9; I'd like
to make a more in-depth one, perhaps with voiceover
or captions. I've attached a file with some of the things
I'd like to include in said video; suggestions would be
welcome.

I think that it would also be nice to show some of the more practical 
applications of plumbing in acme while programming. Perhaps a separate 
acme video would be best. Ideally, things like running mk, and plumbing 
the error messages, running acid, and plumbing the stack frames, running 
g, and plumbing the likes. You get the idea. I know that it's all the 
same basic idea, but you really don't realize just how useful the 
feature is until you've used it for such things.

If there were a separate acme video, there are many other features that 
deserve the same attention.

A video equivalent for acme of the help paper[1]would be nice.

Is it just me or is that video kinda fast?  Or maybe it was just that I
am a new user (new to plan9 and this list), and I just got lost.  Really
cool though, especially since most everything plan9 is still amazing to
me as it is still new to me.  Thanks for the cool video.

Doesn't play on my Windows... It Seems this is an avi, not mpeg-stream, 
but players don't know how to play it.

it's nice to see that my face is immortalized in this video. :)

Yeah, I apologize for the apparent speed of the video. The screen capture
software I was using has some problems; I was actually deliberately moving
much slower so that things would look almost normal when the program
was done. I think the problem is that it misses stuff.

I have reencoded the video so that it is viewable in QuickTime (at
least on my macs). in the process I slowed it down to half-speed so
the actual clicks of the mouse are visible. fetch the videos from here
and check whether they work on your plan9-substitute os :) the author
is still John so ask him whether you want them rehosted.

high quality mjpeg video (130 megs):
