Just installed Opera and I love it!

I've gotten Opera 7 too and love it! There are a few sites (radio stations) that have got this applet that opens when you want to listen to the music and that won't run. Then a window opens telling you that you need to get a plugin. The plugin on the page it's referring to is nowhere to be found....
But I just listen to other stations now.

Anybody that wants to use POP3 mail should download Pegasus, I've installed it a week ago and it's so fast! I used Outlook Express before and it was extremely slow in opening big mail but now with Pegasus everything is soooooo fine!

I've always used IE and this new Opera is pretty nice. I like the tabbed browsing. It doesn't work with everthing that IE does, but for surfing it's very nice.

I'll wait the finnish language version of Opera 7 before changing to that. Not that I can't read english but because my windows speaks finnish, it would look silly.

Is there much of a difference between Opera 6 and 7. Is it worth my while downloading the new version?

@Wolfe Tone: If you only have a 28.8 dial-up connection, you might want to wait. Especially if Opera 6 is working well for you. It isn't a *huge* difference, so you could be quite happy with what you've got.

On the other hand, if you have DSL or cable, or access to a T1 line, I would download version 7. For me, it is running better than 6, and I have even been able to install all the plug-ins I wanted. (Sometimes it was a real pain in 6.)

Like I said, it's not a "night and day" change, but it is a good, solid evolution.

Just an update, 7.01 is out on the Opera FTP with some security hole updates.

I am running Opera 7.01 - Sweet!! I just might have to leave NS 7.01. IE is really far left behind now.

Now I just have to find that Pegasus mail program addict was talking about.

Man, the download manager is soooooo much better in Opera than NS or Mo!
