No, YOU are the troll. Opera has become another Chromium clone. Which means the only real opera is 12.16. Which means that he is correct - Opera, true opera, is dead.

for old enduring system users, and there are a lot of us, older engines with less power and features enhance our lives, far more than serious upgrades that make the product not even run on our system.

You are just rich, and spoiled, a feature hog, ignorant of deprivation or struggle. You are the real beast here, for failing to appreciate the past. Though you have not lived it, you should know you should appreciate it you ungrateful grasping wretch. Without the past, the future, as wondrous as you gorge yourself, would not exist.

Actually fuck that. The future is worse than the past. New things become more complex, retarded, and less intuitive all at once, making people lazy fat sacks of worm shit. Just sit on your ass and speak, now no one can burn calories pressing buttons!!! Har har!!!

The futurists, the technoworshipers, the scinazis, the the best is yet to come imbeciles - they all have the same delusions. They are free to keep them. I prepare for the worst, for I know nothing, really is getting better. Nothing will until the reckoning. When evil pays for all it has done. The future, and all it is so called wondrous technology - that is slowly on the march to turning us from humans into monsters. I will not be a part of that. Mock the ancients and what they used all you like, because you could never get by in their world. Be thankful you do not have to. But that was the beginning, and where you are heading - is close to the end. Something will have to be done. The curve will one day break, and chips will get no smaller, processing power no greater. But of course you gluttons will not be content. You will demand more. What if that is not possible, the quantum computing revolution a thousand or 2 thousand years off, if humans even have that much history left to them. They certainly don't deserve it. My God, I guess you will have to learn to ADAPT, and cease demanding more of something that can no longer be provided. You should be fucking happy enough, with terabyte drives and double quad cores. More than a 100 lifetimes then is needed.

Here is something. The old Presto engine is the ONLY thing I know capable of running a Flash game file - swf - like a fucking EXE. As in, it recognizes it as an application and runs the damn thing in the fin browser, no stupid online check, no asking to download something it should know you already fuckin have. If they are fucking free online than you should be able to play them offline in the new browsers that fucking simply. They have addons up the waszoo for GETTING flash files, enlarging them, but not to play them? How fucked up is that?

Yet another case of the old outshining the new.
