Why do you guys have pictures of Tom Selleck on nearly every picture?

Anyway, Knut-Jørgen Rishaug should get the same mustache as Mr. Selleck.
Judging by his picture, his facial hair has great potential for it! bigsmile

There are more awesome people missing like DotEd, Rijk, Aleksander Aas etc. Opera has more than 750 employees wink

But the one who will be missed the most is undoubtedly Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner smile If we could have a similar post on him and Geir Ivarsøy whistle as a tribute to the founders of Opera Software ASA
love smile
