Oslo, Norway-based Opera Software ASA on Tuesday announced that it’s giving away complimentary registration codes for its Opera Web browser for 24 hours on Tuesday, August 30, 2005. The giveaway is to celebrate Opera’s 10th anniversary.
Opera costs nothing to download and use, but unless a registration code is entered, the software displays advertisements. By filling out your e-mail address on the 10-Year Online Anniversary Web site, you get registration codes for each of the desktop operating systems opera supports, including Mac OS X, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris, and three flavors of Linux.
Opera features pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated searching on Google, Amazon and eBay, e-mail, RSS newsfeed support and IRC chat. The browser’s interface can be customized with new “skins” as well.
The current version of Opera works on Mac OS X v10.2 or later.
Been using opera for the last 5 years on all my linux boxes, and one win box. Still love it, and would never go back.
But why bother paying for the registered version?
Just went to their website (http://my.opera.com/community/party/), but coudn't access. Their server must be swamped.
Oh, well; will try later.

great....I've been paying for it since version 2.x (which fit on a floppy)
Help me out.. is the code being offered for 24 hours, or will the code expire after 24 hours?

Good question. It's gotta be free for good, though, I would think, once installed -- not only 24 hours.
I probably shouldn't have given them my email address, when asked for. I bet you can bypass that and still get the code. Dammit! I just hate getting spamed to death.
ping! this is great for anyone who doesnt want to use IE but also doesn't support the overtly leftwing mozilla/firefox
it isbeing offerd fro 24 hrs. basically opera is free if you download it today
