ohn S. von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera Software is putting his money were his mouth is. Today Opera announced that 1 million copies of Opera 8 have been downloaded in the first four days. Von Tetzchner is in the water and beginning his long trans-atlantic swim. "I will swim from Norway to the USA if download numbers of Opera 8 reach 1 million in four days."- Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. In a press release, Opera PR stated that the CEO "spent a good half hour submerged in the bathtub at home in relatively cool temperatures to reduce the shock of the icy Oslo fjord."
So will I, as soon as I find a cruise ship going from Norway to the USA that has a 24/7 swimming pool.
FJORD!
Strangely enough, I don't care...
A quick message to Opera's CEO:
Jon? It's okay to say, "Yeah. That was just hyperbole when I said it. I didn't really intend to do it. Sorry." rather than doing something really foolish.
