The Opera Desktop Team tells us that we should be expecting early builds for Opera 9.5 in a couple more weeks and I'm really looking forward to some of the features: Read the rest of this entry ...
At home we've all been pretty sick the last week or so. As a result, I only recently caught this nugget.
