Oops! I hit send before I meant to. And the subject is all wrong.
Anyways.
What I just posted is an excerpt from
http://www.erasmatazz.com/library/Mind/How_to_Think_Uncluttering.html
At first it seems offtopic, till you realize that software
preferences often mirror cognitive styles. What is important about
Plan 9, IMO, is not how the software differs from other software, but
rather how people who prefer Plan 9 differ from people who prefer,
eg, Linux or Perl.
The quote I just posted was written by someone with a BS and MS in
physics. Physics definitely has that property that the people who
do it well are the ones who have a habit of searching for the handful of
important facts among the milliards.
