In bocca al lupo!

But you can't add JavaScript to htmlfmt so we're still miles away from
being able to do one's banking in Plan 9.

Personally, I mix VNC and an UBUNTU laptop to get things done, because
I have to.  Perhaps the consolation I can draw from noticing the
sluggishness of these devices is that all exponential growth
eventually exceeds available resources.

When wintelinux comes crashing down through an inability to sustain
growth, Plan 9 will be a good candidate for the next hardware
platform.  There will be others, all of them, hopefully, skinnier than
their predecessors.

In fact, at the current rate, wintelinux ought to be slowing down
relative to Plan 9, if not already, certainly pretty soon.
