I wonder though, if at some time in the future if you upgrade to a newer
version of Opera, would you then get the ads?

This is fantastic news. Opera is my main browser since v4 came out
and still didn't find anything half as good. I've mailed them 15 mins
ago and still haven0t got a reply. Is there something to do apart of
mailing the address in the url you pasted?

Regards

Unless they handle this promo differently from their usual method, all
upgrades in the ver.8.x tree would be without additional charge.
Ver.9.x would require re-registration to avoid the banner (not ads).

BTW, I figured out a way to have Opera run off a thumb (USB) drive.
It's very nice to be able to use it now wherever I go. I know you can
do the same with Mozilla/FireFox, but after using M/FF for two years I
just couldn't stand the bookmarks manager anymore so I made switch to
Opera.

I know that you don't like BannerWare and that is certainly your
prerogative but I think you are shooting yourself in the foot on this
one.

I've just d/l'd it at it seems very good. Although I like Avant, I always
remember ther's IE under the bonnet/hood.

I would also like to use it as an email client to cut down on progs, but
I'm worried about storage.

I've found a .msb that is in plain text, so that's good, but it doesn't
seem to differentiate between sent and received. No other boxes I can see.

After bad experiences with OE and Teebird(which I'm using at the moment,
I'm sensitive about recovering mail even if the client's trashed.

I know it's OT here, but if you could give a bit of quick advice I'd be
grateful

You have to give them a mail address, but it isn't used,
and anything works.

I got to a web page on opera.com which says:

follow these steps or view the flash demo.

Copy the appropriate registration code given below
Go to Help > Register Opera
Enter your name and organization
Paste the registration code and press OK

I was sent to a page named
http://my.opera.com/community/party/[email protected]

because I used a mailinator address. They are obviously generating web
pages
based on the mail address you give. And that is the only reason they
ask for a mail address. Still no mail in that mailbox.

Speaking of mail, Opera works fine for mail, newsgroups, chat,
notebook, browser, ftp, and I use it as a flash player and XML-viewer.

The best Opera skin is the Office-2003 inspired skin.
It takes least screen space and is easy to understand.
Remove all toolbars you don't need, add buttons as you like
to the toolbars you keep. You can make Opera look exactly
as you want it.

Ask questions about Opera in the newsgroup opera.general
Or search that newsgroup for replies, your question has
probably been asked and replied to already.

Lately I asked for a bookmarklet or script to tell me the
lastmodified date on web pages, and got both immediately.
I had a filter in Prox that did this earlier.

I don't need to use Proxomitron now because Opera has good
javascript filtering built in, plus the new feature, user
javascript, which can be used like filters in proxomitron.

Three programs that are always open in my computer,
Opera browser, Total Commander file manager, Winamp
music player.

With a gmail account and Opera you get access to mail
and newsgroups, both via web, newsclient or via mail.
If you like you can access newsgroups via
POP3 and SMTP server, and treat newsgroups as mailing
lists.

I just spent a half hour searching for any known Opera 8
vulnerabilities and found none :

http://secunia.com/product/4932/

Seems quiet on the Opera vulnerability front right
now after a number of problems in version 7X.
