Karaoke at the next do?

Kippax ---- YAWN!!!!!!!! I've been around the Net for a very long time and I can't remember anyone saying Opera was the one to topple IE. Netscape at one point was the most prevalent browser. All software has bugs. It was written by humans after all. What seperates Open Source stuff is the speed of resolution. Microsoft are SLOW at releasing patches, OSS normally has critical patches out within a day.

There are still lots of browsers that the vast majority of people wouldn't even know existed. I use two on a daily basis that most Windows users will never of heard of.

If 1 IE user trys Opera and likes it then my post will have been worthwile. In fact, the fact that one IE users learns that there alternatives makes it worthwile.
