That makes preserving your 100 > half-read pages a breeze! :-) I haven't gotten to 100 yet, but I too use this mechanism to preserve many windows that I want to look at again later. I also just put the tab-bar over on the right, so I can see and easily select any of the first 20+ windows. When I get far over that, I know it's time to clean up some of the old windows. Opera's ability to save windows when it crashes or is closed is my absolute favorite feature, and would make it my browser of choice even if it were as slow as Mozilla or as poor as NSCP 4.x.
