Dante, I started using Opera about 1.5 years ago and I love it. And there are two things that, hands down, make my life so easy when surfing:

1. the mouse click forward/back (as mentioned in the article) which in virtually no time became so intuitive that I literally found myself doing it in other programs, not remembering that it wasn't a supported 'gesture'

2. a simple icon to click on that turns image loading on or off. I surf with no images, which not only speeds up the (dial-up line) process, but also avoids the ads on Yahoo; if I come to a site that images are integral to (as in navigation or photos I want to view), one click turns them back on, rather than looking in menus or preferences somewhere.

There are still sites (probably because of non-standard compliance) that don't display that well in Opera, but increasingly few. I'd say the future is bright for intuitive and gestural computing...

Cheers,
Jon
