2. You mean, going to the opera? I'd scream too. Or the browser?
Opera: The only place where people get run though with a sword, and instead of dying, they sing.

5. There is a new version, 9.0 coming out very soon.
"Merlin", I've ran the beta for a while & it is real tight, it may be in final release form now.

Be sure to highlight some text and then see all the right click functions you have! This is the surfer's browser, IMHO.

6. Why did It take you so long to try Opera?
It's a very good browser, much better than Firefox In my opinion.

10. At least Bill Gates won't be doing any more damage since he's retiring
There was a rumor that Microsoft was going to buy Opera so they could have a modern secure browser that worked since they are still struggling with problems in Exploder7. Then there was the rumor that Google was going to buy them. I've heard Opera even has a browser for your cellphone.

12. That's cute, Redstone. In Madama Butterfly, the baritone already
has a wife in the United States, so the soprano uses her father's ceremonial sword on herself (but not before she sings)!

I love (most) opera!

13. Been using it since v3.x myself, and...
the only time I open Firefox or Netscrap is when some site insists on it or I want to test a page. Or when some really crappy Java doesn't work properly.

There are a few things I'd like to see changed, as usual, but overall it does just about everything I want and most of it better than the others, although the others are catching up.

I gotta say I do get a little pissed when alternative browsers come up and Firefox is always the one recommended.

Oh, just remember to dump the cache on a regular basis, or it gets a little clogged up. Took me a while to figure out why it didn't load pages after being open for a few days.
