Opera-Thunderbird vs. Firefox-Thunderbird

Saturday, February 25, 2006 8:22:54 PM

, ,

I finally convinced my wife to leave Outlook Express for Thunderbird. Being familiar with both Opera and Thunderbird, I found it easier to explain how to do things in Thunderbird because the interface is somewhat like Outlook Express. That being said, I found myself using Thunderbird again, because it was easier to convince my wife to stay with Thunderbird if I was using it myself and I also use it at work. Again, that being said, I find myself being torn between using Opera and Thunderbird or using Firefox and Thunderbird. I feel almost disloyal saying that, but it is what I have been thinking. I actually like both programs for different reasons. I suppose I could post this on the Opera or Firefox forums, but there have already been more than enough posts declaring which way it should be, without me adding to the clutter. So, I will just say it here and see if anyone responds to my thoughts here.

That's my take!

Have you tried to use a computer without Opera and mouse gestures?Pigeons, homers to be precise

I don't know about anyone but as far as i am concerned, the only email client that i ever loved is Opera M2.
