(and I'm grateful for that! :) but Plan 9 (and other software) can be much more useful by exposition within a *typographical interface* i.e., an interface informed by typographical imperative[1] (to increase signal decrease noise) in arranging streams (of text/numbers/symbols/images outputs and inputs) using established patterns of typographical technology for improving the interface/tools between process and user to make it natural/immediate/effortless [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Typographic_Style
