Dear Opera

Dear Opera,

I have been a loyal user for many years now, it is still my favorite
browser but there is a problem... Opera is falling behind. Yes, i must
confess that i have ... browser envy. Actually is more like feature
envy, more specifically "Firefox extensions". *Why* can't you have
extensions too? or maybe (mind you i have no concept of the technical
hurdles involved) make Opera so that it can use Firefox extensions!
yeah! Please, i remain a faithful user but catch up, quickly.

Argh! Cheaper broadband just out of reach!

Crap.  So some broadband providers (SBC & Verizon) are *finally* offering reasonable priced broadband (albeit really slow)but its still not a nationwide thing (yeah, i am back in the US for the time being). I don't know about how it all works but i *think* one could actually have two DSL lines and still have it cheaper than a regular line (the point? not sure, just an interesting thought).
