i still miss 9vx. it was so convenient when it worked. fun too; i had it 
full-screened in a little laptop & it felt like it was native. i've tried to 
use inferno in the same way, but i found it rougher than plan 9 and it lacks 
awk.

this was exactly how i used it until i got used to acme, but i also got used to 
eagle mode and badly missed that when i switched to native plan 9. i still miss 
it. if i could code half as well as i'd like to, we'd have a zui file manager & 
notes organizer by now.
