Opera 3.0 released

[Jeremiah Cruit-Salzberg]

My experience with Opera 3.0 on an NT platform was that it slowed my
system down to a crawl.  I tried browsing my hard drive with it open and
things were slow, with it closed they were fast, with ie4.0 open it was
fast, and with Netscape it was fast.   What was fast with Opera open was
web browsing which was fantastic.  With the porting of the bookmarks it
makes a great tool when you only want to browse the web.

NOTE:  Just one case experience, the slowness only happened on my
machine with Outlook and Access open running on an NT BDC Server.  With
either Netscape or IE open under the same circumstances everything
worked faster than with Opera open.
