Hmm, a lot of what I do is remote testing... so if I can get an ssh session going in vt I can live in plan 9 for a few days at a time. To my left is a dual G5 PowerMac though for all other tasks... I have been trying increasingly to avoid swivelling left. I find the total lack of eye candy and fully functional web applications makes it easier for me to focus on my work :) There's a ton of crap software on every other machine I totally just don't need. But there are a few things that I think would make Plan 9 more enjoyable. * Abaco completion :) [or other web browser... though I really like abaco so far] * Virtual desktops... [rio sessions help but really don't quite get it for me]. * More hardware support. [I wish I had the time to finish that dang OHCI driver so I could hook up my USB Sound Sticks I have on my mac in Plan 9... I'm fairly well wed to the whole mac iTunes experience at this point though so this one is not so important.] I already do somewhat weird things like hook up my scanner to Windows XP and use Inferno to move files around to desktops that I send mail from for reporting expenses for travel. I might look into messing with Rio... that's the last thing I was experimenting with on Plan 9 a few months back.
