'most punkrock'? NFW!
The very endurance of Acme/Rio vs psuedo-3D and weird cube-rotation, bouncing
3-D'ish icons, warping and 'Genie' effects, tells me that by and large
Plan9'ers can still read. Moreover, probably would rather read a dead-tree book
than watch what passes for cinema these days - all gasoline bombs and
special-effects - whether on big screen or desktop.
A 'Game-Boy' or XBox crowd it ain't...
