Reply: (edit)I've been using it somewhat frequently for about 4 days now. It's VERY solid, very quick, no annoying xtra's or anything. It views alot of pages that I find NetPositive unable to view. When I click on mpg files, it doesn't play them as there seems to be some sort of program/file-type assocation process that I haven't investigated yet in Opera. I am also considering the purchase. Hope that's useful!

Reply: (edit)A lot of users can't open the .bin file. I think you may have to download the file to a beos machine only! Beos files have extended attributes that may or may not get lost in other file systems.
Joey, how did you get your copy, online or from a CD?

Reply: (edit)I grabbed my copy from: http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?platform=beos I downloaded it via BeOS PE, and I did have problems with it when I downloaded it via Win2k. It's a 30-day trial, so sadly enough, I'll hafta decide on purchasing it or not in a few weeks : ) Joey

Reply: (edit)Just to be picky, I do find that NetPositive opens things more swiftly than Opera, however Opera seems to have alot more compatibility with different types of webpages... My 2 cents...
