Title: Opera 9 web browser.

Hi All,
Been playing with this new browser. It is nice. Way faster than IE.
Jim/Brent this site works fine so far.

That's good to hear.  IE7 has been working pretty well for me so far.  I have to watch it and not upgrade everything.  I use something called WebCT (as a student and instructor) and the latest versions of the web browsers are not supported.  I had problems with it using IE7, so I access it using Firefox 1.0.

Very happy so far...
Have been bashing it pretty hard. Takes a couple of hoop jumps but have a spell checker installed that works on "quick post" here. Nice. Liking the zoom function as well.
I'll put IE 7 on another box and do a side by side.

Creighton,

Thanks for the being on the R&D(Research & Development) Team!
I've been procrastinating on upgrading to IE 7...
And, I don't even have Opera installed at this time...
Glad to know things are still functioning as the browsers upgrade...

Hey Jim,
More than happy to help. Opera may just get the vote for "default browser" It has some fun stuff and does the standard operations just fine. Poking about with the "widget" feature now. Very kewl!! Beats Firefox by at least 2 car lengths and I'm still not happy with MS for taking forever to release an upgrade to 6.00. Will check 7 though.
