Yada yada yada, backpedaling.

P9 -is- a *distributed operating system*. That was it's purpose. Using it
for anything else, while possible, isn't using its strengths. It's simply
trying to shoehorn it in to the same old same old. That doesn't do P9 the
justice it deserves. It does of course explain why the OS has not grown
with the potential it possess. If you don't see, you don't see.

You're of course welcome to your own opinion.
