Actually (as I dig through my mail backlog) PMCs look Topaz-like
because of Topaz. I took lots of notes whenever you talked about
Topaz at the various TPCs. While I've long since lost the notes, the
ideas behind them have stuck. :)
(I'm not actually sure if any of Parrot's design is ultimately
original to me. I think pretty much all of it has been lifted, in one
form or other, from folks with a lot more experience and talent than
I have. I just file down the edges and add some putty to make things
fit together right)
