O.K., I've got Plan 9 running as a guest on XP using Qemu. Seems to run 
fine and is not unusably slow. I'm at the stage of:

"Hmm, not sure what's going on here - it's all pretty different to Linux 
(which I'm quite familiar with). I'm sure there must be interesting 
things to find out, but I don't really know where to start"

I need some guidance to take me to:

"Gosh, I quite like this way of doing things, let's find out more!"

and hopefully to:

"Wow, this is mind blowing - why don't all O.S.es do it this way?"

Can anyone suggest things that I might try to give me a sense of what 
Plan 9 is all about, please?

Jim Ford
