Well, I did download 6.1 and I'm trying it. It seems to work with my
fidelity.com web site, which 6.0 wouldn't.
I use opera mostly too. However, I am not entirely happy with it. No Java
support, whatever that means. Hard to do online shopping, often fails,
although I did manage to buy some things online from the national weather
service. That was a victory. I can't print from it. I can't view page
sources. 
Have you gotten opera to do plugins or helper applications?

I haven't really tried any plugins yet (that's why I occasionally still
fall back on NS 4.7x)  I can get it to print, but only the first page. 
Can't for the life of me figure out why only the first page   I
have NO problems shopping with it at a variety of different vendors.
