"The badly designed and bloated software" is in large part a relic of Bell Labs' previous experimentation with numerous people's graffiti on it. I have no reason to believe Bell Labs' not-so-current experimentation is any more "saintly" and free of blemish than the previous. In time somebody will come up with the Plan 9 Haters Handbook. Perhaps you can give this book a try on the subject of Bell Labs' infallibility: If someone at Bell Labs reads this I will be very much grateful if they tell the list and me about what happened to ODE. --On Sunday, November 16, 2008 1:49 PM +0100 hiro <23hiro@googlemail.com> wrote: > Eris, are you telling, that plan9 is not suited to all the problems of > all badly designed and bloated software?
