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.
