  1. Hey Marty! Hope your weather moderates downunder soonest !!!

    Unseasonably cooler for the last few days here (and today hopefully)... low to mid-80º's Fahrenheit with an occasion brisk breeze. Prior to that we flirted with the 100º F mark for a spell. The trend is toward more normal (90º's) soon.

    Water rationing requested down in the Sacramento area due to drought conditions... our well water up here in the Sierra foothills getting more and more irony (sic)... I fear our well may soon be depleted if we do not get an early fall.

    Fire hazard still very high... ozone moderate now, but on the rise.

  2. I ran into this problem recently as well...

    it is disacussed here.

    Be forewarned that the new Opera does not act completely nice with Win98SE always (which is what I usually use it on)... In fact I rolled back to Opera 9.50 to help with system reliability. I still have to sometime completely reboot when Opera 9.50 has issues with memory/graphics /or I don't know what after a length of time.

    I'm actually going to continue to try to roll back to Opera version 9.27 when I can figure out how to do that (the settings somewhere prohit this due to the new mail upgrade??). Opera 9.27 was the last version that I had absolutely no problem with.

    resolved: after checking with opera.com's forums (what an imbroglio a'brewing!) I found that I could unistall Opera 9.50 and then rename the remnants (in my case the folders 'mail' and 'profile' and the 'operdef6.ini') and then install Opera 9.27 successfully... yay!

    ... guess I'll wait for v. 9.6x to upgrade

    All that being said I still preferred a buggy Opera over IE and FireFox on my dated under powered system.

    Good luck !
