 During COVID, I got to see a lot of people's home computing
 environments remotely. Mostly Mac, but one engineer we had was running
 Plan9 at home. I should have taken a better look at his setup. I think
 the idea of shareable CPU servers was what attracted him to it, he did
 a lot of work with Big Data.
