George shares his favorite Opera features.

Through the shadows of the Web I surfed
Through the popups of the sitez annoyed
Until I found the only relief
Opera - the popup thief

Through the underweb I scanned
Pressed back and back and back and front
Too many times I lost the point.
Using gestures I soon found out
Spared a life time of running wild


Greets from sunny greece.
Keep up the good work, been with you since V.4
George

Vicent sent in a multilingual birthday message.

/In Englisch:/
Happy Anniversary,

that you may exist 10 years and more.You Browser is the
best one J'd ever seen, I used it about 12 hours per
day. Believe me

I don't think that you send me something to Germany,
because of that, sorry for my not-so-supriseful Wishes!

Sorry for mistakes but my native language is german. So
good wishes from Germany!

If you may can speak french you have to read this:

Bon anniversaire!

Mais je ne sais pas quelque mots je peux prendre pour
un bise en francais!
Alors,
grosses bises pour vous!

Herzlichen Gluckwunsch Liebes Opera-Team, auf das eure
Firm weitere 10 jahre oder mehr ubersteht, mir wars nur
recht, ich benutze Opera 12 Stunden am Tag.

Da ich es allerdings eher fur unwarscheinlich halte das
ihr mir ein Preis nach Deutschland schickt werd ich mir
nicht allzugro?e Muhe machen was euren Geburtstag
angeht.

Was bleibt noch zu sagen: Viel Gluck weiterhin eurer
Firma, viele Gru?e aus Deutschland, Berlin.

Have FuN, Vincent from Germany, Berlin! Again: Sorry
for my bad english!

relix wrote about Opera's stability.

I present to thee, a haiku:

Firefox, it crashes
Internet Explorer too,
Give me my Op'rah!

Happy birthday Opera!

Best Wishes from Belgium

Ruben shares his love of open standards and Opera.

Happy b-day Opera!

I've known you since you where 7
Quite a long path we've run
I hope you'll keep on growing
You know I'll download you

This are more democratic times
Keep on with open standards
There will be one day
When the web will be wide open

When that day does arrive
You'll know you played your part
And I'll be proud of using
The best browser in the world

Lori submitted several birthday wishes. Nice work.

This is my entry for the Anniversary Competition.
1: OPERA. The word buzzes through my head,
When I am thinking for the day ahead.
When I use Opera,
I feel as if I am in a wonderful sonata.
With it's wonderful features, I can surely assure,
that if my PC crashes, I need not worry,
*alarm clock sounds*... Even when I'm in a hurry.

2: Rising in the wind,
I sit and think about this,
Opera is for me.

3: In the Fall morning,
One person rises to say,
"Hi. Welcome, Opera."

4: Voice navigation,
Sounding clear to me today,
Opera is my life.

tthom55 shares a Haiku.

soft red O - shadow
lead me to all worlds unknown
you are my portal

alkaliguru submitted a cool little Haiku.

Tenth summer of O,
It's what all software should be.
Thank you for being.

Sascha shares a great birthday song.

happy anniversary! here's my little contribution:

rags to riches, boys to men,
now opera, a perfect ten,
is celebrating here today,
removing ad-bars right away!

we all out here wish you only the best,
as opera 8.02 stands the test,
clickingly, now more than ever,
we hail and give you props forever!
