*slaps forehead*

Not much of a sense of humor, right?

Anyway, Plan 9 (from outer space) is the new brainchild of Ken
Thompson. If you believe Ken can't come up with "new thinking", or
that you are in a position to throw cute remarks at the Turing award
winning creator of the most important OS and programming environment
ever, you seriously need a clue.

    "Just think, IBM and DEC in the same room, and we did it."
       	-- Ken Thompson, quoted by Dennis Ritchie
