`dead' is roundaboud way of saying Plan 9 became fertile grounds for system=
s=20
software research.

cue in the ``Systems Software Research is Irrelevant (aka utah2000 or=20
utah2k)'' presentation by rob

also ``The systems you remember so fondly (TOPS-20, ITS, Multics, Lisp=20
Machine, Cedar/Mesa, the Dorado) are not just out to pasture, they are=20
fertilizing it from below.'' -- dmr in anti-foreword to `Unix-haters=20
handbook'.

above all, have fun. i may end up installing Inferno on my N900 :-)
