I was using the Win16 version of Opera and a not too recent version of WINE, maybe that's why? Anyway, I'd choose a buggy Netscape anytime to running Opera on top of WINE!
I'm looking forward to a Linux native version of Opera though. Even a stable Mozilla will do. Netscape sucks IMHO. --

You're right, and African too. I have lived in Zambia for some time and although it was repulsive at first I soon learned to enjoy roasted grasshoppers and ants -- the ants being particular delicious.
I wonder why we haven't developed a taste for insects in Europe and the US...
While I can only congratulate Canada I have always wondered about the encryption policy of the US, or rather: why is it that the US government wants to deprive its citizens from the benefits of encryption?
Of course I recognize that the answer is Big Brother Wants to Watch You, but really, what is the practical difference between encryption and e.g. using some obscure little-known language?
Imagine a group of people who for the fun and challenge of it invents and uses a new language in their conversations (written and oral) within the group. Languages have been invented before, this is not an overwhelming task, and I assume that artificial languages (like e.g. Esperanto) fall outside the scope of the US encryption law. Am I right?
Now, what is the practical difference between encryption and an artificial language in this case, since Big Bad Brother would be unable to decipher the contents in both cases?

For those of you who cannot hold your breath: Opera is WINEable.

Please, please, and down on my knees: the plural of virus is either viruses or vira, there is no such thing as virii!
