Woah, someone from nearby!
Where do you work?

Opera is nice and fast, has some good looking themes too it seems.

I was going to play with Opera a while ago in winduhz, but never got round to it.... keep seeing security scares on the register

using mozilla is such a flashback to pre I.E. domination it's top!
If i ever fully wean myself off M$ (possibly never %100) I'll really start playing with different apps.

work near Winch, but was in RingW doing some stuff for a friend of a friend.
live at J11 of M27.

Ah, ok then

I like the way the latest Opera release makes msn.com screwy, as payback. Read about the Bork release.

I had to use Wine today, not for a M$ app, but to use a program(a circuit designer) which doesnt have a Linux version

But the point is, he is fully aware and he basically already states that installing or using linux would work, but he is looking for alternatives besides "using Linux"

So your post was useless to him and unconstructive. It was something he didn't need to see since he already covered that himself from his original post.

Let's move on..
