OPERA 3.0 - il mio tesoro! Nota Bene users will like Opera, alternate renegade maverick Internet Browser from Norway. It's fast, like our favorite word processor, has a lean profile, and does everything Netscape & IE do but faster. It supports true HTML, next release will do Java and CGI. It is easy to have several windows open, and it can be user-configured and run entirely from the keyboard. Download from http://www.operasoftware.com, evaluate for 30 days & send the authors $35. Time saved pays for that right away. What else? It will run on antediluvian 386 w/4 meg ram. Comes in several languages, more on the way. KEYBOARDS Last Wednesday I attended a market research focus group concerning replacement keyboards. It seems that Microswift, HP, a few others are gearing up to introduce keyboards that will have new buttons to make net surfing and sound control available from the keyboard. The buttons replicate the main menu of IE and with some adaptation, Netscape. If your hands aren't NBA-player sized, you may be glad to know this next-generation ergonomic keyboard has slightly smaller keys and an easier reach. I wrote NB about this because I thought they might want to have drivers at the very least. Nancy Charlton Portland OR
