Opera CEO will swim from Norway to the US if...

[Kye-U]

{QUOTE-> An overly excited Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software, today proclaimed at an internal company meeting that if the download numbers of the new Opera 8 Web browser reach 1 million within the first four days of the launch, he will swim from Norway to the USA with only one stop-over for a cup of hot chocolate at his mother's house in his home country, Iceland. Opera's communications department could obviously not resist to make such a bold and inarguably over-confident statement public. <-QUOTE}

Either extreme confidence or some sorta "virtual" Jack LaLane! ;D
I don't think he'll be needing any luck...

I really think that is just wishful bragging. No way to swim that far. ;D ;)

Although Opera is very nice, I still prefer K-Meleon for general-purpose surfing. One thing I really like about Opera, though, is that it brings me a step closer to switching to Linux (or FreeBSD).

I have used Opera for years and it just gets better with each new release.
