I've come to regard OPERA as a virus. I tried it out years ago, but I advanced the calendar in Win95 for some reason, and Opera informed me that my trial period had expired (after ~10days of use). I thought that I would delete it and start over. Guess what? You can't delete. I've tried and tried. Opera puts itself all over the OS. At this point, it still tries to become the HTML reader of choice, but the rest of the program is gone. I don't know how much undetected stuff is still in there. I would beware of a program that misbehaves like this. I would consider it a worm, and not download it. JMHO Lau
