I declined my plan to buy licence after I discovered that
linux-opera runs under linux emulation faster and takes ~3MB less
memory than native version. They have long way to go before I
reconsider buying the licence. The system I discovered it on is
133Mhz Pentium, 64MB memory and runs -current, so it's enough slow
as it is, and the difference in linux-opera and native version comes
out very sharp.
