Opera Gives That C64 Feel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blast-from-the-past dept.

howcome writes "Opera yesterday relased beta2 of the forthcoming 7.0 version. Opera now supports mulitple user style sheets and by selecting "Nostalgia" from the menu all web pages suddenly resemble Commodore 64 (screendump1 screendump2) from 20 years back. Also, there is a handheld emulator to see what a page will look like on a handheld device running Opera. To get you through Christmas, you can also use the "fast-forward" button. Try it on Google (screendump)!"

    What the fuck!? PNG files are useless, why cant you morons use JPGs? And who uses the word 'screendump' anyways? That's my word for people (RMS, CoyboyNeal) who like to shit on their monitors, and make 12 year old girls lick it off.

    Real name | Occupation | /. nickname | # fans
    Rob Malda - Slashdot founder - "CmdrTaco" - 973 fans
    Wil Wheaton - Actor/Activist - "CleverNickName" - 779 fans
    Eric Krout - Bucknell engineering major - "ekrout" - 502 fans
    Josh Marotti - J2EE consultant - "FortKnox" - 381 fans
    Jeff Bates - Slashdot co-founder - "hemos" - 318 fans

    Please notify me of any corrections. Update: Added Wil Wheaton per AC comment

    As it stands, I'm more than halfway there toward gaining more fans than Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda. That would be a neat accomplishment and one that I'd be very proud of.

    If I can come through (I was on sabatical for a week), I think it would only be proper for Rob to give me some leadership position here at Slashdot. Perhaps I could serve as a liaison between the members and the editors/coders to ensure that Slashdot continues to develop and "scale" with its increasing membership and database size.

    Thanks for reading. I truly love you all and enjoy the time I spend here at Slashdot. If I can help any of you with anything (even non-Slashdot related), please let me know. I'm always there for friends (and fans ;-D).
