I just want to say: FUN!

In my little test bed I've got a 1GHz CPU/auth/fs server, a 100MHz 
terminal booting off the fs, and about 40GB of venti storage currently 
backing up my samba/netatalk shares via u9fs.  I'm so thoroughly 
impressed by its usability and performance I can hardly contain myself.

It's pretty slick having a terminal that's an order of magnitude slower 
than the CPU server and not worrying about it (or even noticing) in the 
least.  Good video and Ethernet cards go a long way.  Plus, less than a 
week of rc scripting has noticeably changed the way I now deal with 
bash.  The experience has been invaluable.

As a side note, I used to be an Oberon addict, and I became interested 
in Plan 9 years ago through Rob's work with acme.  With the 
VMS/NeXT/Linux asides in the interim, in so many ways finally putting 
Plan 9 to work feels a lot more like coming home than a diversion.

Thank you.

-Jack
