Yep. The Wii "Internet Channel" is awesome. You use the Wii wireless controllers to surf the web. Opera installs when you choose to load the Internet channel. -----Original Message----- From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 2:14 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Firefox 3.0 Download Day "Opera on the Wii" - Is this free? -----Original Message----- From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 2:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Firefox 3.0 Download Day Mozilla.com is down. BTW: If you want Firefox 3.0 now, here's the URL: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-GB Remember, though, while you can get it now using this URL, it won't count toward the World record unless you wait a while and download from the primary download page.

I don't really care what people use, I just don't want them (i.e. most folk) to use IE. You say you've never been hi-jacked or scripted, and I assume you mean you're browser's never been compromised in any way. I guess that also means your minimalists tendencies expand into what websites you visit too, because there are quite a few sites out there you *just don't visit* using IE. FF and Opera et al are not immune, but IMO IE is the single biggest security hole in Windows, years running. -- Mike Gill > -----Original Message----- > From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 8:11 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Firefox 3.0 Download Day > > YMMV, I believe, too. > > Personally, I've not seen the substance.
