Funny how some folks just glom all Scando/Nordic countries
together..."Swedish, Danish, oh uh -- Norwegian. Whatever."

At any rate, congratulations Håkon!

Be to Bundle Opera Browser on Its Operating Systems

Operating system vendor Be Inc has agreed to bundle browser software from
Swedish developer Opera Software A/S. The Opera browser will function as the
user interface for Be's new operating system, code-named Stinger, which is
aimed at web- connected internet appliances, like National Semiconductor
Inc's recently launched WebPad. The browser will also be bundled with the
BeOS desktop operating system. The Opera browser has long been well regarded
as a speedy browser that does not use much system memory (just over 1Mb) and
is ideal for small footprint web appliances.
