Well, do tell, Superfluid — what settings did you use to get that layout?

“…the interface is a little clunky for my tastes.”

Until you actually take the time to customize it to your tastes. ;) Opera can be whatever you want it to be. My UI layout:

I downloaded Opera for OSX back when they were running their “Birthday Party” free registration promo - I was impressed with the speed and reliability of the browser, but the interface is a little clunky for my tastes.

No worries — I’m sure it’s nothing HandCoding readers haven’t seen before.

Well - the Websphere Java thingy, when you go to DL it, if you select Tungsten C it says “Were sorry - but this is only free to Treo users”.

So, I selected Treo and got it…but it just is aggrivating.

Sorry for the swear-intensive post. You can delete it if you want. :)

Perhaps I’m not seeing something, but Java for Palm seems free to me (including Tungsten C, Tungsten T3, Tungsten E, and Tungsten T5 ). :-/

Or do you mean Opera Mini for Tungstens — maybe that’s not free?

Ugh…I’ve never had to “register” for so many things before.

And WTF?!? The Java shit is free to Treo users but not Tungsten? Fuck that.

Opera can keep their fucking shit.

(Yes - I’m really aggrivated about this situation)

Oh, but they do — Opera Mini for Treo (and it’s free too!). R0×0rs!

Yesh - but they don’t have a version for Palm. MAJOR SUXOR :(

I’m dying to find a good web browser for Palm. Opera is SO nice on the Zaurus - pages are readable and almost all pages work on it. I’d pay real $$$ for Opera for Palm.

Are you listening Opera? ;-)
