I was just emailing a friend who lives near Asheville, NC. She has, uh, 
um, that OTHER OS :) but she does use Opera 9.X browser. I gave her 
the link to a web page I put some pictures on, and when she tried to 
access it using Opera 9 ( and I tried using Linux opera 8.52) you get 
a nastygram saying you have an old version of a browser and you can't 
view the albums!! see error message below:
