[penguicon-general] anyone know something about Opera?

[LadySarah]

Hay, Bo, can you be a little more help?  (send chocolate)  I'm using Opera
9.whatever the current is and the directions from that article don't work
now.  Any suggestions?  I'll be able to attack our IT director after the
Thanksgiving weekend, but if I can find a way to change it all before I go
after Ken that would be even better.  :)

Thanks!!
Sarah
