Unfortunately however, it appears that she is surrounded by folks who are
single-mindedly determined to keep her inside a sterile plastic bubble -
according to these people, linux and gnu are, apparently, the boogey men 
that will certainly 'get her' should she ever leave the confines of the 
artificial cocoon that's been built up around her.

time, Plan 9 is a precious little snowflake that is neigh useless outside of 
an extraordinarily narrow variety of use cases:
