Good move on installing 98Lite. Great program.
If you install Opera 5.02 I'd suggest you either leave IE on the machine
or install Netscape as well (4.x, *NOT* 6). There are a number of popular
sites that don't work correctly in Opera, so you need an alternate browser
for them. Supposedly this is because Opera assumes strict compliance to
standards, meaning that it's really the site's fault rather than Opera's -
whatever, the pages don't display correctly, so you need to have IE or
Netscape available.
Don't get me wrong, I use Opera and love it. But it *is* a pain to have
to open another program when a site doesn't display properly.
Also I find Opera's email program inadequate. YMMV of course.
