[OPLINTECH] Opera

[Mann, James H.]

Bob has a great suggestion with Public Web Browser (see:
http://tln.lib.mi.us/~kknox/career/pwb/)
I've been thinking all day that an older computer, with say nothing but
98/NT, Public Browser and maybe Acrobat, would be a great Hotmail
computer.
You could add some cheap memory, maybe make a ghost of the setup on a
spare hard drive, and then just run them until they died.
We're using Public Browser for our OPACs on 4-year-old Celerons and
haven't had any performance issues.

I have used the free version on my own PC for a few years and like it,
except for the=20
email. I use Pegasus for that.

I suggest downloading it and trying it.
There is configuration to do...if you want or need to.

If you want the PC more secure I'd suggest Public Web Browser which is a
shell for=20
iexplorer.  This is used on our PAC's and coupled with our Novell
Security is very secure.
Configuration is required, but it is rather easy.

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with the Opera browser?
A staff member asked me about it and looking into it, it seemed like it
might be a good option for some of our older PCs.
