Depends, I guess.  The 8K AVR device I'm toying with isn't likely to
run any shells at all :-(  More's the pity.

BTW, I just accessed Vita Nuova's web site for the first time since the
Plan 9 release (I must have missed an announcement about Inferno in the
excitement) and my impressions are that it is very striking.

USD 300 is around SAR 2200, just around UKP 200, I think.  I'm starting
to save right now :-)

More seriously, can I get some encouragement from Vita Nuova to support
your products in South Africa?  No need for any form of exclusivity,
it may suffice to let interested parties know that they can approach me
for assistance.
