Great success

This great success story comes from eztigma, Opera-fan and Campus Crew member. Keep up the great work!

Opera is the default Web browser in the English Lab at my school. Currently, not only English practices are being held there, but also research work, computer skills courses and some other courses for the teachers. The first time students sit in front of a computer with Opera installed, they feel a little bit odd to see a red O where a blue E "should be" under the "Internet" label of Windows' start menu, but their first reactions towards Opera are generally favorable, from "Wow!" to "It's beatuiful!".

Federico, like some students and fellow teachers doesn't have an Internet connection at home so he is a recurring costumer of a Cyber Cafe near to his place. He has been using Opera and thinks that it's a great alternative to IE, but to use it outside the lab or at home is impossible... or is it not?

I told him to download Opera@USB and he did, now he's extending his potential from plain and simple browising to tabbed browsing, saved sessions, synched bookmarks, notes and all the other Opera features that make Teacher Fede a happy Internet user like the download manager, the built in mail client, Speed Dial and of course, the privacy of having his own browser with his own settings at school, at work, at his local Ciber Cafe and even at home.

Like Federico, students are starting to jump into the Opera bandwagon by taking the browser in their pockets and being able to use it at every computer they sit in front of.
