Opera 8 (part 1)

I keep hearing all over the place about how firefox is the best browser out there. I would like to make the point that opera is far better and (almost) the best browser out there today

Why do I make that claim?

Opera is fast. It starts up quickly and breezes through web pages far faster then anything else out there

Memory requirmnts are low. Heavy usage with many tabs opened I peaked memory wise at about 30,000K. Under firefox it would be easily over 90,000K and Maxthon round 50,000K. Just

Click and drag tabs. Yes I know you can do that with other browsers, but opera does it really nicely. Shows the tab as a "ghost" where you can drag and drop to whatever order you want your tabs in

You can tear off tabs. You can take a tab, drag it off the program and it becomes it's own browser window. Just how cool is that?


I'll go into some more reasons tomorrow. There's just too many to do in one sitting

Cool new game

I've been playing alien shooter.

What a great little game! Tons of alien hordes. Neat weapons. Piles and piles of dead aliens. What more could you want?


Oddly it reminds me a lot of the old dos classic freeware game cyberdogs
I do wish someone would make a windows port of that game. i know I would download that instantly!
