What do you need 100 windows for? Well, it sort of creeps up on you. Every day I seem to open and half read a couple more web pages than I close. After a month or so, that starts to add up, and I often hit 100 open windows in Opera. I never got that far with Netscape because it got too cluttered much faster, and let's face it, Netscape never stayed up long enough to open that many windows. Opera also has that really handy "Resume from when you left off" feature for those occasions when it does crash. That makes preserving your 100 half-read pages a breeze! :-) Oh, and if the tab list for the 100 open windows is getting in your way, you can minimise that too. Opera is nearly good enough to make me stop cursing the way everything now requires a browser to use it! Stephen.
