As nice a name as TOPAZ would be for the new Perl 6, yo should be aware that there already exists a software product by that name. They( Software Science) have been making TOPAZ for DELPHI (on PC's)for quite some years now. Check out their Web site: http://www.softsci.com/
I too have been using NetZero as my ISP- but have been running the connection from a WIN98 box, since I had no info on coinnecting under Linux. I found a site that claims to have info about setting up a NetZero connection under Linux. Tried it out (it's your basic PPP dialup settings), but it fails at the PAP authentication. Anyone out there had any success ? I'd love to set up a Linux box with a free ISP:)

looks like it's for laptops
most of the demo machines are laptops
(is commenting on the visuals)
new CPU is porlbematic
no software
x86 compatibility big goal
biggest sw base
Software is supposed to learn as it runs
saves battery poewr as it woks
formed in 1995
decided to focus on mobile market
