No doubt, I actually prefer the keyboard (and the shell) for many
tasks as well, I just wanted to point out that there are some tasks at
which the mouse is actually better (and I consider manual window
resizing to be one of them).

Some will say yes, some will say no (to both questions). Anyway, it
uses the mouse in ways I hadn't seen before, and are quite
interesting. Plan 9 is definitely worth to learn about (a good start
are the papers at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/). However, if
you just want to try out Acme though, I suggest to install plan9port
(it's a port of many of the Plan 9 programs to unix like systems, see
http://swtch.com/plan9port/).

Thanks, but I meant that "Pardon my English" as "Sorry for the harsh
language". Turns out that the actual expression is "Pardon my French"
though, so I guess my English isn't that great after all :-)
I had no trouble understanding your English btw, so don't worry about that.
