Plan9 tools are great to use on thinkpads since they actually have 3 buttons. Most would find a dedicated mouse more appropriate however (the vertical one with 3 buttons and a separate wheel for instance). Plan9 workflow is mouse oriented and it's fantastic. Its keyboard workflow or the lack of it is infuriating, for me, your typical linux/vim guy. The linux mouse oriented workflow, or the lack of it, is equally infuriating for me now that I have used plan9(port), acme, editable dumb terminals, etc. So I hack it in my tools, however I can. I would warn newcomers that experimenting with plan9 and its tools can create strong frustration :)
