epp_b Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I thought you meant it was the ad-supported versionNope, that's why I said "full version".BTW, I don't plan on installing it today. I assume the key is good for any time I wish to install it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm speculating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James M. Fisher Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I was wondering how that key works? Is it just the same key they are giving out, over & over? Otherwise, the 'Net would be flooded with keys for the next 300 years.Maybe they are considering going the 'donation-ware' route with IE7 looming....

Webb Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Cool. I got 2 reg codes, just in case, and they are different. Even though it asks for an email address it doesn't email the code to you - the reg code might be coded to the address you enter so make sure you remember if you give them a throwaway address.

Tushman Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I saw the same thread over at the Fatwallet forums and decided to try it out to see what the hype was.It does seem to be faster than both IE and FF but it doesn't support Roboform - which for me is a major deal breaker. Between IE & FF, that gives me enough of a choice so I really don't see myself using Opera if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James M. Fisher Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Opera was a similar built-in tool called "Wand". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryM Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have FF, NS, and IE (some sites seem to require IE and that is all I use it for.) What does Opera do better or instead of FF for instance?I did DL it and got a key, but have not installed it.Thanks,Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed it and am playing around with it but Opera will never replace Firefox as my default browser. My advice would be to give it a shot, you can DL skins for it (themes) extensions..etc. It is a tad different than Firefox and the speed increase if any is negligible. But the price was right.

I think I will do that, and I assume it is not hard to uninstall if I do not like it.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 It is not like IE, just use the add remove programs section in the CP. I will keep it at least untill I tire of it or I start to like it better than Firefox but I doubt it as I have been using FF since it was called Phoenix.

Webb Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Gary,Please let me/us know how you like it. Like most experimental software I won't get a chance to play with it until a good long weekend (like Labor Day) comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmaledeer Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Thanks, epp_b, for the quick notice. How secure is Opera vs. FF and IE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havnblast Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Opera is quick about fixing anything if there is a need toI didn't care for Opera till Opera 8 came out, very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epp_b Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 How secure is Opera vs. FF and IE?Against IE, there is no contest. Compared to FF, I think it's probably about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD1 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Does anyone know how to relocate Opera's disc cache?Never mind... I found it. There is no option to move the disc cache folder but, this line can be added to opera6.ini in your profile.[user Prefs]Cache Directory4=path_to_desired_cache_location Edited August 31, 2005 by RD1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryM Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 So far I like it a lot, and I think better than FF or NS. I like the way it returns to the last sites when you start up. I had some problem trying to learn how to open multiple tabs, but when I did I like it.Is this version the same as the paid version?Thanks.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webb Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) If you missed the deadline you may still be able to get it. Download the file from Download.com and get a free code from http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml If the link is dead the party's over.
