I'll take the credit for this. :-)

I asked on the TUHS list, was pointed to Mike Lesk, asked him for the
paper, and he graciously supplied it. A few people on that list (also
on 9fans) supplied pointers to PDF they were able to generate.

It was an interesting read. It is absolutely amazing how much was
accomplished with so little (a hypothetical dedicated mail machine that would
only need 5 meg of disk... :-).

If one phrase sums up the Unix and Plan 9 philosophies, it would have to be:

	Small Is Beautiful
