No, I use Plan9 at home since the first public distro, and since 2007 on=20 production plant. ... I'm sure I'm the only professional using Plan9 in Italy I don't know about non-professional italian users. In 2005 I tried to attract the attention of some academic friends, beca= use I think that Plan9 could be very suited for distributed appls on many sma= ll machines on a slow net. Some robotic appl have this characteristcs etc etc. No response from the University where I graduated 30+ years ago, no Prof Ballestero's great work appreciation etc. Ah, now I see the list active. Bliss. No messages back, 50% OK Thanks a lot to all in the list. adriano >> On Aug 23, 2016, at 2:06 PM, stanley lieber wrote: >> >> Don Bailey wrote: >> >>> Plan 9 shall never die. >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Aug 23, 2016 at 8:21 AM, David du Colombier <0intro@gmail.com= > >>> wrote: >>> >>>>> I see from the archive (http://marc.info/?l=3D9fans) there were no >>>> messages at >>>>> all in June, maybe everyone was tired out after the 203 messages in >>> May? >>>> The 9fans mailing list was down from approximately June 1 to July 25= . >>>> >>>> -- >>>> David du Colombier >>>> >>>> >> People just stop using it. >> >> sl >> >> > >
