[11/05/97] - Opera Browser Update 

     Opera Software (http://www.operasoftware.com/) has updated their
Project Magic (http://www.operasoftware.com/alt_os.html) page. OS/2 is
closing in on 800 pledges (the Mac is still ahead with 900) there are
still 4 weeks left, so if you are interested in another browser for
OS/2, let them know. There is some more good news, and I quote: 

"As you can gather, we are very pleased with your response to Project
Magic, and although we haven't reached the 'target' of 3000 pre-orders
yet (after three out of seven weeks), it is almost certain that the
work on a Mac and OS/2 version will commence shortly, whereas we would
need more support and interest from the Linux/X11 and BeOS community in
order to make these a viable commercial and sustainable alternative."

(** Moderator's note: Project Magic is an attempt to gauge the amount
of interest for versions of the Opera web browser for non-Windows
platforms, including OS/2. If Opera receives enough notes from people
desiring an OS/2 version, they'll build one. **)
