> Why did Peter Weiner register plan9.com?

---------

1)  weiner.com was already taken

2)  ditto for peter.com

3)  He had to come up with something fast to beat the $50  
registration fee

4)  The movie was compelling

5)  He thought that www.plan9.com would make a cool web site

Suggestions for the nascent site will of course be appreciated.
