Yes, I just downloaded the 9.01 version. I hadn't realised that Ver 6 was more that a couple of years old by now, as it came off quite a recent magazine CD ... :-( The new interface is even cleaner, a very simple layout. Which seems to be a trend with Browsers to simplify their graphical appearance. I have always liked Opera for its abilities and its looks. Now I can compare with the other 3 Browsers that I use ... >> The Opera 6.04 [ free version ] that I am using says 2002, IE 6.0.29 [ >> came with Windows XP Professional ] says 2004. >> >> So, one around 4 yrs old and the other around 2 yrs old. > >No, that is just the patch level, i.e. the last bug fix was 2 years >old in your case. IE6 itself is 5 years old, I think. Well, I got the whole computer system for free, as it was donated from a London bank to education. Its a Pentium II, although a little bit limited on speed these days, it still works fine with XP Pro. QPC2 is nice too on this machine ... :-) >> PS ...

I may feel like organising London Group show in 2007. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
