Thanks Mak.

I'm currently using the Opera 9.5 "Kestrel" weeklies, they're damn good.... the features set is just awesome, it's definitely the most user-friendly browser out there by far.

Only problem is, this version is a CPU hog :frowning:
It takes a lot of processing to do some of the really cool stuff they have (like indexing the contents of web pages so you can go to a uri by title as well as by uri) and it's just too much for this P4.... old users won't be too happy. I just ordered my new mobo and cpu, so that's a non-issue for me though.
 
I am not currently using the Kestrel since it doesnt allow for bookmarks to work correctly. I use that feature alot. Espically from within the Personal Bar. But i have used the first couple of weekly Kestrel builds and loved them.

Yeah i just seen that. Hopefully it is working right now. Getting close to Beta 1. That is even better news. The Beta's are always top notch. I have never had a issue with them.
 
Thanks. Paying tribute to my wife and baby. Wife loves Stitch and her bday is 2-13 whiile my daughter was born 1-9-07. So it is a special sig to me. :grinning:
 
Hey Guru sorry for the double post here. But i was wondering. What kind, if any, javascripts do you use with Opera. Do you use anything at all. I have the urlfilter.ini working to block over 90% of the ads out there. But i also have a Orangoo Spell checker working as well. Just wondering if there is any other good ones to use. I knwo with Opera dont need much if anything to make it better.
 
Yeah, they really do need to update their aspell for Windows package... I wonder if Opera will use aspell on Linux though? It's a much more straight-forward process in the *nix world.
 
Yeah i see it was from like back in 2002. I have tried several varieties of Linux but to no avail. Even openSuSe wouldnt isntall and it even crashed in my VMWare.

Well i guess i will stick with Windows for now. Till i can do something about getting a Apple. :tongueout:
 
Well i am trying to install OS X. But i wont say anything more since i know the policy on that kind of thing. I just need a IDE hard drive since my SATA are not recognized.

I love my windows. I really do. I wont ever give it up. But haveing a backup is always nice for when i crash Windows. :wink:
 
I have no problems with Windows XP :smile:

(I haven't touched a Vista-based computer in 3 months now! :|
however, I'll be formatting this PC come the weekend and installing Vista once more just for the hell of it)
 
Well my Vista went south with SP1 installed. So i will be formattign that again and re-isntalling Vista. But i am in no rush. I am using my MCE version of XP. I rather like it.
 
I reinstalled my XP SP1 :tongueout: It crashed about a month ago :grinning: XP SP1 FTW!! :grinning: haha, kidding, I'm about to install my Ubuntu 7.10, tonight or tomorrow! I'm wondering what changed, I was reading about it, but this time I'll see it in action. :joy:
