Even if I'm not an everyday user, Plan 9 has always surprized me in the ways it enables to do things. It's somehow like an upside down approach to the Unix world. 6 is 2/3 a 9... one may never exploit 100% Plan 9 in deepness? Also, regarding what Erik asked on 3rd January "does anyone feel like debugging an infinite os?", I feel Plan 9 offers an extra-wide range of possibilities, "approchoaching infinity" suggested by your logo. And in the end, your logo is black (or really dark gray) and white, just like the Ed Wood movie. Thus, your logo fits well to me. Nicolas
