   Opera doesn't do Java but JavaScript, which are two different things.   
   I still think it was a stupid choice of Netscape to name their script   
   language after Sun's compiled language...   
   Anyway, Opera is not bad for some stuff, but if you need compatibility   
   with newer JavaScript then Mozilla/Phoenix is much better, although a   
   lot slower.

   Unfortunately yes, but you only have to delete two files from the Opera   
   settings to start the 30 day phase all over again.

   Under MacOS X I only have 6.03, but even that is way ahead of the 3.62   
   beta for BeOS...
