don't give up. The OSes we curse now (Unix and  Linux) are what we wanted
to have 10 and 20 years ago, when we were cursing miserable vendor Oses.

So, in the best case, you can look forward to the day when we're all using
Plan 9 and cursing our luck for being stuck with it. Or you're using it
and liking it and all these college students who look 6 years old are
telling you (respectfully, of course): "Dr. Mirtchovski, you're so old
school. Can I bring you your walker? Are your teeth in today?"

That's called 'progress'.

Feel better?
