"yeah, a while ago they had a blurb on their front page claiming they'd invented the multiple document interface. ha."
When did we claim to do that? I don't think we've ever claimed to invent MDI. After all, MDI has been around in other kinds of applications for a long time. We didn't invent mouse gestures either, but one could claim that it was Opera which brought mouse gestures to the browser. I think it was the first browser with gestures anyway.
As for Notes, it is completely new to Opera. Whether or not it has been "invented" before is hardly relevant, is it? As long as it is a useful feature which makes browsing more convenient, everyone should be happy. All browsers borrow features from each other. Mozilla has borrowed plenty from Opera too.

I have to point out a few serious errors:
- The upgrade from Opera 6 to Opera 7 is USD 15.
- If you registered Opera 6 just before, or during the 7.0 beta period, you either got it for USD 20, or you got a free upgrade.
- We've never said that Opera will never be available for Windows CE, but it is not planned at the moment. It seems someone misquoted us on that.
