Opera is my favorite 
                            browser. It is a very small (about 2 MB download),fast 
                            and highly configurable browser. It is definitely 
                            better than MS IE or Netscape. Please click HERE

                            So,you are 
                            now convinced that Opera is really great, and you 
                            have downloaded 
                            it. You MUST read the help and support files that 
                            come with it, and also check the Opera support 
                            site. 
                        Opera software now 
                            has a service called composer. This allows people/companies 
                            to create their custom version of Opera, supplying 
                            their own skins, buttons, bookmarks, splash screens, 
                            and more.
                        If you would like 
                            to have the one customized by me, you can download 
                            it by clicking here (2.4 MB). It comes with my 
                            bookmarks (the links page on this site). It does not 
                            have Java Runtime Environment. You can find it on 
                            the web , if you need it.
                        Opera is now free, 
                            but ad supported. Registration is necessary to get 
                            rid of the ads. Ads are downloaded weekly and then 
                            displayed from your cache. They do not impact your 
                            band width.
