Given the experiences posted by some of the plan9 inventors in other = thread, this seems to be an almost impossible task, unless you make your ow= n business or change you're employer for someone which already uses pla= n9. I guess.

It is a bit discouraging for a fan who has the hope to get his employer nee= d plan9 i think. I already gave up on this.

The story of my (plan9) life...

I should add that there is also lots of stuff I _would_ use
that I don't have time to write.

my big question is "How do I get my employer to need plan9?"
