Sure, we can get calculator that adds
a different calculator that subtracts
A new one to multiply
and another to divide

:laugh:

Ok, bad analogy. :shrug;

Ok, sure you could have

* IE
* Outlook
* mIRC
* an RSS parser
* etc

Still a poor analogy, but the point remains that having it all in one is just so much simpler.

To each their own. Maybe if developers stopped beating their meat, all of the browsers would be better.

I liked Opera when I tried it, but there was a problem with it that I can't remember. It wasn't just me experiencing it, it was a known Opera issue. Whether they have fixed it since then I don't know, but I'm quite happy with Firefox so I'll stick with it.

As for BT, my university blocks it. Usenet > *

Aha! I remember now! And by that I mean I dug up my old posts on the Opera forums. Do any of you Opera users experience a problem where Opera fails to fully load a page? It seems to happen randomly, but occasionally the bar at the bottom will say 11/12 images or 14/15 images or something to that effect. Supposedly some people experienced this problem while others didn't. It's been a recurring problem since Opera 6 all the way to at least 7.53, when I last used Opera.

Any idea if this has been addressed in Opera 8? And what's with the power ranger on the Opera main page?

The only time I get the "11/12" or "14/15" "problem" is when there is a video on the page and it's still loading. That is to be expected though.

Usenet also doesn't have a capped bandwidth, and isn't limited to some random fella's upload speed. I get a constant 830kb/s from usenet, nearly my ISPs max. That's about 10+ DVD movies per day. If that's not worth $15 a month, I don't know what is.

So even paying for usenet > *

Don't fear Firefox fans. FF will soon copy this feature, just like they copied all the rest of their major browser components from Opera.
