HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OPERA! 15 YEARS!

I first discovered Opera around 2001, I think. I remember using Opera v4.0 on Windows 98; and paying for Opera v5.0 on a tangerine Apple iBook G3 with Mac OS 9...and, of course, I never looked back.



I've never wasted time with typing WWW or .COM, or closed tabs that I couldn't re-open (or having Tabs, at all!), or wasting time because it took 5x longer for a web site to come up, or save a session of 10 tabs to follow-up with next week, or a million other advantages by using Opera...for NINE YEARS now. :smile:

Here's a great site that show's Opera innovations, past & present. The cool thing, when you use Opera, is that you can assume and expect that the other browsers will continue to follow by adding Opera's innovations. Lately, I've been playing with the Opera v10-alpha with Turbo...and it's very cool!

Let me repeat something important about how Opera is faster & easier for you. I have not typed WWW or .COM in my browser address bar since 2001, when I switched to Opera. Don't you wish you had, too...? You can, in one minute. :smile:



Happy Birthday to the great team at Opera worldwide...and to Jon, Geir, and Håkon for getting it all started.

Wow! You have been using Opera a lot longer than me.I started using it as my primary browser since v7. I didn't like the old version 4. It didn't provide tabbed browsing, but had a weird multi-document interface.

I am also playing with Opera 10 Alpha (trying every new build) Some how yesterday I hit a 13 on the Turbo I was surprised (I am on an 8 year old aDSL)
