Personally, I use Mac OSX because I'm thick, but regardless of that, Pietro et al are quite right. Erik correctly said that if you try to access http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/ it works fine. However, if you try to follow the link browse the source, you, or at least I, get the following:

All parody aside, Bruce, the service did exist at one point, and it existed because it was useful to enough people for the labs to make it and set it up. It's been available for several years. Hiccups aside, it's a bummer that it's down for so long. At this point, I'd think it would be obvious

iirc sources is down because there was some heavy scraping going on that was maxing out the CPU at the labs, see 9fans passim I've found it frustrating, but mostly when trying to show off mad Glenda skillz on reddit / slashdot. The wiki points to a contrib mirror on 9grid.de that goes to a
