Me and Opera with Dean

Hi all
A week back, I was in my institutes's dean's office for a meeting with him. The meeting went very well, but during our conversation with him, I was continuously noticing him having some problem with his PC. After the meeting I asked him whether I could help him out and amazingly he was very kind to give me the opportunity to help him.
First let me tell about the problems: He was harassed by the speed of loading of various webpages on his IE( the primary problem he was facing at that moment) which he thought was due to university's internet connection.
A few of my friends suggested him FF and me opera. But they failed as I always carry Opera's setup in my pen drive
( a step ahead)
It gave me a chance to introduce him to Opera and let me tell you he was very impressed by its speed.
The opera Turbo feature was just an icing on the cake. I explained him the process and then gave him the live demo of the comparison of speed of both IE and Opera.
He liked the speed dial feature which allowed him to manage his favorite pages efficiently ( he not at all liked just bookmarking and forget kind of things in IE)
Then I saw his IE, and saw that he was always logged on and there I found the opportunity to introduce him to the Opera mail built in the browser. Even if h was thinking of choosing between Opera and other browsers, this feature just gave Opera another supremicy over IE there, and instantly he asked me whether I could remove IE from his computer ( as his PC is a bit old having 40GB hdd only).
Twitter widget was just a great add on for him.
With some other windows tweaks, now he is more than satisfied with it.
In fact, as far as I remember I haven't spoken this much in front of him any day before. Really was a great feeling.

Yes, of course , its 'graVITas' - Unleash Your Genius
that took place in VIT University (Sept 11-13), India (the university in which I study and promote Opera Software).
