If Yarn could be ported to Linux, I would quite seriously
consider giving up Windows forever. Yarn and Forte's Agent are the only
two applications I regularly use in Windows. Everything else I use is on
the Linux system I have.

Java applications have a tendency to run slow on older hardware.
NetZero's software is in Java and is very slow on my old '486. Yarn95,
however, runs an order of magnitude faster there.

Fwiw, if I had the source to Yarn, the first thing I would do is
covert/translate it to assembly language where I feel most comfortable.
