The Web Will be Reinvented Next Tuesday - Stay Tuned

Ah, the "we just reinvented an entire industry" marketing scheme. Well played.
Opera was, if I remember, the first browser to get 100% on the Acid3 Test. So if they just reinvented the Web I suppose I'll pay attention.

Zachary, you know I did not know they hit 100 out of 100 on the Acide3 Test. Very interesting. I wish them luck on reinventing the web and we will all see what that means very soon...:-)
