I am not going to take this discussion here, I suggest Alexander uses
Opera's news groups and mailing list for this. We would love to hear
his comments there!
However, basing ones view on software solely on ones own experience is
totally allowed, but shouldn't lead to a dismissal of the software and
it's potential success. It takes more than one unhappy user to created a
software failure.
