Good news, everyone! Opera 10 is finally here and we're looking for the top Opera 10 promoter in the Opera community.

The contest is easy. Use the affiliate program to spread the word about Opera 10. We've created a special Opera 10 section where we'll keep track of progress for one month (ends October 1st). We'll reward the top promoter with a sweet prize: A brand new Nintendo Wii with 2 games of your choice, huzzah!

Anything is allowed (besides cheating!) and you have to be a My Opera member to participate. Simply grab your affiliate code and have fun with it.

A lot of improvement and speed with Opera Turbo.

For Dial Up Users, "Opera Turbo" compress the websites. You see Pictures in the Web but they are low rate. A 1 MB Picture was compressed down to 50K. You can easy turn on or off the "Opera Turbo"

Wow, it's still around?? I would have figured it died off with how badly it had went downhill in the 9.xx releases.

I am curious how the whole opera turbo thing actually works....

from my point of view it shouldn't work, not unless there was a thirdparty server that dll'd the original and served up the size reduced version....
