I'm sorry to hear that the treadmill wore you out. Good luck on all your
future endeavours (plan9, I presume?), but don't be a stranger!

If you are indeed moving completely to plan9, I'd be interested to hear
how it fares for you as a main system. I know Mathieu runs plan9 as
well, but I think you'd be the first of those I know to run it as their
main/only system (if you are doing so), and I'm curious what it would be
like.
