I use it 85% of the time at home and at work.   The speed and facilities 
are better than anything  - apart from Netscape 6 which is a close 
runner.   Wouldn't swap it for anything.  One major advantage I've found is 
if there is an error in the pages code both IE and Netscape refuse to load 
it whereas Opera will, thus it's usually easy to spot where things have 
gone wrong - e.g. pictures suddenly stop loading or tables look weird on screen

Intrigueing thing with Opera - you can tell it what you want it to be - 
MSIE 5, Mozilla 3, 4.76 or 5.    And the site you browse to records it as 
the selected preference.    I'm also web master for the plants site where I 
work and if I check the access logs the browser never shows as Opera for my 
user-id; only ever shows the selected ID from within Opera!!!
Well - that's my two-pennorth added to the topic :-)
