Intriguing -- I thought one of the big takeways was the Unix Room at
Bell Labs, where development happened because programmers weren't
isolated in their own offices. Then again, maybe they were all just
brilliant...

For those interested in trying Acme -- Pike's uber-editor for Plan9 --
there is a Unix variant called Wily: http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~oz/wily/
