My mistake.
I followed the link in the article, and it too me to http://my.opera.com/community/party/
Where it says, on the right hand side-
"No more free drinks!
Cheers guys, it was a blast! Millions of people (literally) got their free registration code at our party, but the offer is now over.
But don't despair - you can still get Opera for free by joining our affiliate program. Just put an Opera-button on your webpage, get 250 people to click it, and you're home free!"
I have never used the GIMP, I have used GIMPshop since I started messing around with GIMP so I don't know how it compares.
The reason I use it is that I don't see a lot of jobs where knowledge of the GIMP is a requirement, but plenty where knowledge of Photoshop is.
I used Photoshop at school the other day for the first time, and I was able to use it without too much adjustment.

I just went to their website and they said that they weren't offering it for free anymoe. Seems like it was a limited time thing.

Even if it didn't have the coolest control ever, one game system to play all Cube, N64, SNES, and NES games is reason enough to upgrade.
