No need for flames, because, when we are talking about technology, I would say that we should recognise superior technology when we see it, whether it is Free as in Freedom or free as in free beer. :-) Just as we recognise the quality of Mac, for instance. It is the proprietary nature that we detest. But irrespective of that, thanks for the info. I was not aware that Opera has been a pioneer in browser technology. > Firefox enjoys all the media attention for being "free software", while > Opera, still being far superior to IE (and even Firefox when it comes to > web standards) is little known.

So there is no need to flame about it :-) Best -- V.
