I find it a good introduction to people who are not so eager to explore it
-- sort of a 'that's what it is, see if you like it' article.

This approach is much more persuasive than my 'but this is so easy in plan9'
and 'plan9 is so much better' blatherings, which are usually met with
disbelief and ridicule (well, disbelief.. they dare not ridicule me :)

Maybe I should remove it, but someone ought to write a better one to put in
its place -- someone who speaks english :)
