117895 2003-02-03 02:50:00 I'm just trying Opera Version 7 as my browser. So far I am very impressed.

In the past I have used IE 3 to 6, Netscape various versions and I even tried Mozilla briefly. I have always gone back to IE after my play in the past.

Somehow I don't think I will be doing that this time.
Very fast and compact!!!

Just thought you might like to know. :-)

117897 2003-02-03 20:57:00 Does Opera include an email setup in it? Just interested in a browser,as I don't want to muck around with setting up another place to store emails in,as I'm happy with OE6. Thanks. Neil McC (178)
117898 2003-02-03 23:21:00 opera has its own very basic email client. tho i still prefer to use eudora. tweak'e (174)
117899 2003-02-04 00:03:00 Yes....

Opera has an Email client.

I have not yet used it but I am going to try it. Currently I use Outlook 2002 and have tried Eudora, Incredimail, Outlook Express and Pegasus.

117900 2003-02-04 00:39:00 Ok,thanks. But-- can I just use it for browsing the net,and carry on using OE6 for emails? ?:| Neil McC (178)
117901 2003-02-04 00:58:00 Yes you can.

You can use Opera as Browser and any Email client you want.

117902 2003-02-04 05:44:00 Thanks for recommending it Elephant. It is really excellent and makes IE6 seem like a real dog. I cant believe how speedie it is. I am a noobie to PressF1 and this is the first thing I have downloaded on recommendation of this forum

So thank you Elephant. Do you know why IE6 and the other M$ browsers go the same speed as a Morris Oxford?

117903 2003-02-04 05:54:00 Possibly IE is a little bloated...

I don't really know. If have used IE for yonks as I stopped using Netscape around version 4 even though it wasn't bad. Tried others but always went back to IE.

This Verion of Opera (7) seems better than the other versions of Opera I have tried.

117904 2003-02-04 06:37:00 If you look at the Opera download at 3.2MB (without Java) as opposed to the size of IE is it any wonder it runs faster!! Lean & Mean gets my vote every time. (besdes I have a limited HD space) Rod ger (316)
