Opera ! Poem on the creation of Opera Turbo :-)

Opera ‘ Turns Turbo’ - so Browse me
There once was a browser that ran very slow,
Its true potential it did not know.
In the technology race it struggled last,
Starting to lose all hope as it got passed.

Its Customers encouraged the Opera engineers to just do their best,
Although it hurt to try and run with the rest.
They tried to perfect day after day,
Praying to God "Just let me browse away."

They never wanted to quit and hated the pain.
But always knew what they had to gain.
One day while they sat at work all alone,
They heard a ring and answered the phone.

" Hello?" They asked in a strange voice.
The caller told then that had but one choice;
"You can give up in pity, you can hide in shame
Or do what you must to get back in the game."

Later that week they gained in face,
Starting off faster and faster with the Browser at a much quicker pace.
They knew that no one believed they could win;
and they were all on their own using their strength from within.

The engineers began to make progress with the browser and open their stride.
The customers cheered on and they were filled with pride.
At the finish they were so pleased they made the line,
Winning the ‘Fastest Browser’ with a record time.

Questions were asked all and about,
But there was only thing the customers wanted to shout:
"Anything is possible when you believe
You can attain whatever you set out to achieve."
‘Come on Opera!’

Hello Glyn,

your blog is great, I love it. Never been to Wales, but I hear it is beautiful and have great people. Even on ManU. :smile:

You can make your MyOpera blog even better by using a few My.Opera enhancement tools made by Expono.

Here is how I do that: http://bit.ly/f5NuN

You too can embed album/photos you have stored on Expono (1GB free) in My.Opera, by registering here http://bit.ly/mOHlk

When you upload to Expono, you can post to facebook, twitter and friendfeed or use the albums in your my.opera blog. You also get to search by TAG, place, face, and lots more.

Hey Glyn,

I'm from Oslo and I use myo as my primary blog.

In regards to Wales and ManU, I was thinking of Giggs :wink:
But also Ian Rush and what he did for Liverpool must not be forgotten - hehe
