Subject: [TUHS] Clem's Law.
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2022 13:58:04 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12D158D7-41B4-41C9-BB68-7DC6C1BBB8FF@canb.auug.org.au> (raw)

I thought this comment was very good.

I went looking for “Clem’s Law” (presume Clem Cole) and struck out.

Any hints anyone can suggest or history on the comment?

	Plan 9 is very cool but I am channeling my inner Clem, 
	Plan 9 didn't meet Clem's law.
	It was never compelling enough to make the masses love it.
	Linux was good enough.
