Hi,

Currently I am using IE 5.5 and Outlook Express. Strongly considering =
switching to Opera. Planning on downloading the free version of Opera =
7.11 to try it out. Question is, when I decide to upgrade from the free =
version to the purchased version, do I have to re-download the whole =
program again, or do they just give me a key to turn the free version =
into a registered purchased version??

Thanks for you help.

Why didn't you answer the question then? People should say things directly in news, as someone will understand them wrong. (What if OP hadn't downloaded Opera already - the first 2 posts wouldn't have helped him, would they? - from his post: "Planning on downloading")

Other such thing, the OP said someone had critisized him, and that one had bad grammar. I have bad grammar, but I can't think anything in my post critisizing him (nor was I able to spot any spelling errors). So now I'm not sure if he meaned me or someone replying him privately. Had he said name, all would be happier, even the named in long run.

> hrm.. Sorry if I offended anyone.
You did not offend anyone. (I propably did, as I have been doing what I ranted for myself - apologies for offending and posting non-thought posts)

> I thought my answer was complementary to the one Arioch gave.

Yes, and mine was complementary to yours and Ariochs as they failed to answer the question OP asked. As I said, I don't doubt they were helpfull. And if I wouldn't have been sure you did know the answer, I wouldn't have said anything. My point is that all of us could have said all those things in one post.

But it has been annoing lately how often there is half thought replies to pretty simple questions in this (.general) group. It can take 10 replies untill someone finally answers.
