So far my evaluation of the Opera web browser has been extremely positive. So much so that I'm thinking of ditching Firefox. Nice job Opera! I'm going to pay the $29 fee for a year of support and never call them. (For those unaware, Opera is now free w/peer support, $29/year for live support). All I can say is that if you're still using Internet Explorer, you're missing out big time...

I recently re-installed XP Pro on one of my workstations and went looking for the MS InteliPoint software for my MS IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0A USB. Seems like MS no longer supports the 3.0A IntelliMouse with their latest IntliPoint 5.4 software. Their advice for owners of their previous HW mouse products: buy a new mouse. Hey guys - that's a bunch of bullshit!

Guess I better buy my peripherals from a peripheral vendor in the future as opposed to throwing money at a software company that doesn't support their legacy peripheral products. Anyone remember the Win98-only MS 900 MHz cordless phone that recorded your messages in PCM and forwarded them as attachments to your e-mail address?
