Gottfried,
re opera:

I been using opera (actually paid for it !) for about 2 months now. The biggest draw back is that it doens't have the same polish as netscape and microsoft. It also however doesn't have the download bloat(and is fairly stable unlike netscape imo) that the fab two do. I had a tough time getting java plugins to work with it so I think to sum it up (at least as of version 4.02) its in the same area as linux is, ie requires much more user intervention to get going and many places require either netscape or ie so you'll still need to keep one of them around.

Best regards,
Rob

I've been trying opera free today and also encountered java problems ( maybe the same as R Jennings ). Don't know what they were but didn't want to spend the time to try to fix. One plus..maybe...installing the Sun Java that opera requires seems to have cleared up my datek streamer problems. Bosquedog, are you listening? If you have cable or dsl it might be worth the download. Took Opera out a few minutes ago.
