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...

I fail to see what is so odd about seeing Plan 9 in a publication on 
embedded systems. In fact I can't think of any commercial area off hand 
for which Plan 9 is so well suited for(or in other words I fail to see 
how this is "an odd direction"). The embedded systems market seems to be 
one of the most rapidly growing areas in the addoption of distributed 
systems( ie QNX, LYNX ect.).

i don't see any problem with cat /dev/toaster/status to tell me how
my toast is toasting.

it's really the Compatible Toast-Searing System in disguise.

Some months ago I quoted a brief article from Unigram-X about Plan9,
saying that ATT had a cooperative venture going to build set-top boxes
(you know, Cable++, or land of a thousand channels) that were gonna run
Plan 9.

I've since been led to believe that the project was been scrapped.

There's an ad in the November issue of _UNIX REVIEW_.

toasters don't have to be Unix, NT or DOS compatible.
You make opportunities where you can...
