211240	2004-01-30 06:06:00	I've used Opera now for about 4 months, and I've certainly experienced an increase in speed over IE and Netscape. Opera is user friendly and with some great features the others don't have. I keep IE for those sites (usually spawned by M$) that will only accept IE, but others (e.g. ASB Bank) accept Opera if you tell it to present itself as IE. Otherwise, no problems at all.

It has some underlying javascript issues, where if you click on a java link and its supposed to open up in a half size window, it doesn't happen. Also stuff like hushmail and ANZ online banking don't work, due to nothing opening up in a miniature window pane, like its supposed to. I'm pretty sure I've downloaded some windows updates with opera too.	PoWa (203)
