Do give it a try; the current download is about *half* the size of
Firefox's download. FF looks a lot like IE; Opera is it's own creature -
it does some stuff quite differently from either.

I really like some of the details of Opera - using the keyboard for
navigation, for instance. (Z is backward, X forward - saves mousing
around!)

I've *finally* gotten OO to install cleanly; it's been on my mahcine for
a
couple weeks but very slow & crashy. Last night I ran the 'Repair
Install'
function & it seems to be running a lot better. I hope.
