My Opera
My Opera Trubo Xp

In basics this is just a copy of my entry in the "Submit your own experience" contest cleaned up.
When I first installed the Opera 10 alpha I was amazed at the speed at which is loaded pages. Opera 9 is fast but 10 made it seem even faster!!!!!!!
Then I found that there was a "opera turbo" feature so I tried it. BANG never going back! My connection crashes every evening (probably due to overload) and can be slower than slow dial-up (I am using a satellite link). With Opera Turbo I can still browse even under these adverse conditions!!!!! I now run Opera 10 on my living room computer just so I can use Turbo.
The only complaint I have is that some websites such as Facebook and Tribal Wars don't work properly. I understand why and don't think it can be fixed. It would be nice if you could add a filter so that it automatically didn't use turbo for certain sites. Beyond that I love it. I am using it right now, tonight is the worse its been in awhile. It is claiming only x3 compression and the images look great!
Keep up the good work Opera ASA!

When I found out about the contest I was looking for handheld radios. The Yaesu FT-60R looks like a great rig... alas I don't have $245 to spare right now
.
I also created a presentation in OpenOffice. I would have uploaded as a video but I can't, and the export as swf option dosn't include auto timing and sounds.
Note: Once you play on the first slide just leave it and it will play with the timings I intended.
