Folks who’ve recieved email from me recently have seen this post’s title in my sigfile. Naturally, it refers to Opera. Opera 10 is apparently on the way, if the slew of recent “weekly releases” are any indication. But here’s something cool: I checked in at the Opera Desktop Team Blog yesterday (cos I had forgotten to check in last Friday–when the “weekly releases are usually posted) and saw that a weekly had been posted a day early–yesterday.

Time pressed in (and on) and I haven’t yet installed that weekly for trial, but tonight I was taking my Wonder Woman on a brief tour of the PC-BSD site and saw that the current distro is supposed to have Opera included with the default install.

Oh, and their browser really kicks you-know-what.*heh*
