I don't know Opera that well, and I'm going to blatantly walk into a "from 
what I've been told" scenrio instead of doing research :)

Now...from what I've been told :) Opera doesn't support lots of fancy stuff. 
I don't know what its Java type credentials are, but its essentially just a 
web browser (does it have builtin mail or news?) I can't tell you what fanct 
stuff isn't supported as it was some time ago this was brought up :)

Netscap^H^H^H^H^H^H^HMozilla, from first glance, looks...different :) I have 
no problems with skins...I just don't use them myself. But it renders damn 
quick compared to netscape 4.6...I'm vaguely impressed :) Yes, I aggree that 
its taken a bloody long time though to get to this state, but at first looks, 
it ain't that bad. 24MB or memory it's chewing up - which is comparable to 
Netscape's memory use.

I'll see what happens. The Opera beta I tried a couple of months or so back 
wasn't very stable, and I found it pretty much useless...couldn't do owt with 
it. *shrug*
