Opera 5.0 for Windows is out now, and it is free! It is also FAST. Being free it has a small panel in the upper right corner where ads flash are posted BUT when you hit F11 the full screen mode toggles on and ads disappear. You can also change the size of the web page from 20% to 1000%. Very nice. There are a couple of web sites I couldn't access: the UniversalThread couldn't talk with Oprera so I couldn't log on. Some M$ "imbrace and extend' techologies are apparent road blocks, but the java stuff works great. It has ICQ, newsgroups and email built in. 2M download if you have java already installed. I'm pushing it because the more Windoz users I can persuade to use it the less that will be using IE!!! The Linux version apparently isn't up to V5.0 yet.

Slightly p****d off at netscape? Don't run Konquerer because you don't want the overhead of KDE? Couldn't get w3m to compile (I couldn't)? Then get your butt over to www.opera.com and get the latest beta for linux! Currently a 30 day shareware-type licence, a free version will be out soon. And, before you start moaning about the 30 days bit -- it's a 2.5 MB download! It's also the fastest (graphical) browser I've ever seen!
