RE: [newbie] Opera7
now, if only i can wean myself off Outlook Express for my email. I am with you on this one except i am using Outlook. I cant find any way to move data over. However i havent setup an IMAP server, then moved my email to that and then pull open evolution/sylpheed/etc and then pull it down. Any other thoughts on how to move from Outlook/Express to Linux email? I have tried Netscape/Mozilla but they dont allow exporting, GR. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Visited website Opera. But Opera7 download is only for Windows. When I go to Linux download icon, I can only download the 6.11 version. Or am I missing something?

Re: [newbie] Opera7
i guess if your machine is overspec'ed and blazing fast, opera(7) may not offer considerable (performance) advantages compared to other browsers. in answer to the qn, for most pp, Opera will probably be faster than Konq. IMO however, on any botherline machines, say 500mhz down and 128mb or less, opera is just about the best browser around. this is from a feature/performance/conformance standpoint. the beauty of opera isn't so much in it's features, but from intuitive and efficient way it allows you to work, ie, your workflow. eg. CTRL-N to open a page, type in url, and hit '2' to read prev with new page loads. eg2. browse with graphics off, visit www.foo-photoalbum.com hit g to turn on all graphics. CTRL-SHIFT click on 30 photos, and all pages browsed from this page loads with graphics. all others remain as per default (graphics off). /IMO now, if only i can wean myself off Outlook Express for my email. - Original Message - From: Paul Kaplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 3:00 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Opera7 How does O7 compare w/ Konqueror 3.1 for speed, appearance, compliance?

Re: [newbie] Opera7
I have Konqueror 3.1 on my 233MhZ laptop, and to be honest it does not appear noticeably any faster than Konqueror 3.0 on that machine. Opera 6.03 is considerably faster. But then *all* KDE applications struggle on that machine. I have tried Opera7B1 on my 850MHz desktop, and it is blisteringly fast. Much faster than Opera6.03, which itself was faster than konqueror3.0 or any other browser. I have not tried konqueror3.1 on that machine yet. As for compliance I guess you mean rendering 'non-compliant' web pages :-) Too early to say yet, but it has already rendered one page I use that Opera6 choked on. Other peoples experience may differ, but I am already wondering if I can put up with the occasional crash and use Opera7 as my primary browser. derek On Sunday 23 Feb 2003 7:00 pm, Paul Kaplan wrote: How does O7 compare w/ Konqueror 3.1 for speed, appearance, compliance?
