Ken,I was told there would be an additional upgrade cost,hence my waiting.. from an email received "> Have also noticed a couple of sites that would not let me enter using the Opera > software,but would allow access W/IE and Nav. Are these common problems? > Can they be corrected? Have they been corrected? This may be due to the use of Java on some of these pages. Opera 3.21 (any 3.x versions) do not yet support Java. This is planned for release with Opera 4.0 due out sometime late this summer. ;;;;;;;;; > Wish there was an intergrated email program,and access > to all servers/sites is a must. A full email program will also be included in Opera 4.0. CSS support and an improved newsreader are also slated for release with 4.0. :::::::::::::::::: > Any help would be greatly appreciated. You have come up with the niche browser program > I have been looking for,and would love to dump Netscape > (have never used IE and never will),...but I need answers.. Totally understandable. You should be very satisfied with Opera 4.0. You will just have to be a little patient. For what it's worth, you can register Opera now, and you will receive a 50% discount on Opera 4.0 when it comes out. Sounds like I asked the same questions<lol>..DD

Ken, According to the latest Windows magazine. Opera is the fastest of the three browsers when downloading most sites. In some cases, one or two seconds faster than IE 4.01, and two or three seconds faster than Netscape, which is the slowest of the three. Those seconds can sure add up, so when the new Opera comes out, I'm gonna download the fat lady! <G> Yogi
