I assume you missed Opera's recent announcement[^]?

Hi Richard,
I did see that announcement; I even downloaded their new dev version, but I didn't try their VPN.
I would assume, since their VPN facility is new, that they don't have anything near the infrastructure that a company with hordes of users, like Nord, does; however, that could be just another of my erroneous assumptions.
But, for me, I wouldn't want the VPN to be tied to a specific browser, and, while I enjoyed playing around with Opera, I am too at home in Goog-Chrome to just change horses ... for now.
cheers, Bill

It was US$3.99/month, when I saw it earlier today.

Thanks, Mark, they have a promo now of US $36 for a year, and that's what I intend to purchase when my three day trial is up.
cheers, Bill

Decent customer service is worth more than a few quid a month.

DropBox?? Just curious... what's wrong with DropBox?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
|

Well, since you asked: how about my DropBox 'Public folder just disappearing (I had everything backed up elsewhere, no sweat), and multiple requests for support from DropBox unanswered ... the one e-mail I got started with apologizing for not being able to talk to me but, had no information relevant to my query.
I was planning to phase out using the free DropBox anyhow, since I picked up a terabyte on IDrive for US $5 for a year.
Now ... IDrive ... it has been running for 103 hours now and is stuck at 73% of uploading under 300 gigs. However, that could be caused by my flaky ISP. Solving that one is on next week's to do list.
cheers, Bill

anyone here knows what the S or P mean after the computer name?
i.e: T460S, T460 and T460P.
as far as I know the P means Power and the S means Slim, but then why the T460 without letter is more expensive than the T460P?

|
|
Perhaps I should put an "S" after my name... 
|
|
|
|
|
|
Presumably the "T" means "Terminator".

I was checking out the Vivaldi browser yesterday
and was impressed with its features and performance.

Sounds like a browser for all four seasons... 
Will have to check it out...

It's Chrome with lots of additional bells and whistles for control freaks power users. Can't see anything that makes me want to change but no doubt it has its appeal for people who should probably get out more.

I've been playing with it on and off for a while; currently I only have one blocker. A few months back they added lazy tab loading at startup with no option to disable it and reload everything. This breaks tabs with pages that auto-update and show new content in a different style (or just load an x new items notice); as well as those where i use my short term memory to do the same thing unless I want to click my way across the entire tab bar to force them to load.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm not keen on the way it composes the pages.

Yeah, sounds interesting, but it's just another kind of Chrome since it's built on the same source as Chrome, i.e., Chromium. So it'll have the same sort of "issues", namely memory and resource hoggishness.
