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. -- Richard Maxwell Underwood The Internet Is Missing! http://www.satn.org/about/missinginternet.htm
