Filo's office is truly a Goodwill collection truck of a workspace, with dirty socks and T shirts jumbled in with books, software and other debris.

Opera handled the page equally well in an astonishing four seconds. PC World magazine loaded in Opera in seven seconds (versus Netscape Navigator's 22), and Time-Warner's Pathfinder site took a blazingly-quick three seconds in Opera instead of Netscape's 12. What's more, all of these pages were rendered properly by Opera, whose authors boast full HTML 3.2 compliance...
