Opera Software A/S is based in Oslo, Norway. It has been founded in 1994 by Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Geir Ivars°y, who then worked for the Norwegian Telecommunication company 'Telenor'.
<P>
Their vision was to create an Internet and Multimedia client that can be used by all computer users - including those with older machines and those with physical disabilities.
<P>
The result was Opera, the most amazing software product in its category. Jon and Geir, together with a team of highly qualified programmers, marketers and translators, are now set to make a significant impact on a market dominated by two monoliths - Microsoft and Netscape. But in order to do this, Opera Software will need your feedback, so if you have a suggestion, comment or complaint please <A HREF="mailto:support@operasoftware.com">let us know</A>.
<P>
To all those who are actively supporting us, and those who have registered the product, we say a BIG 'Thank You'. We really appreciate it.

Opera is a result of hundreds of user comments and suggestions. It is therefore of great importance to us to have a working communication structure in place that makes it easy for you to communicate with us.

As a result we have made various forms available for your to fill in and submit. All the links at the bottom are live links, means clicking on them will result in Opera attempting to establish a connection with our home page.

<P>
It is important for us to get the Opera name around as much as possible, and you can play an important role, too. If you are happy with Opera, and would like to support our efforts, you can add a button and/or banner to your <B>home page</B>.
<P>
Below you can see what we've designed for you. Have your pick, or better, have both.

Please let <A HREF="mailto:buttons@operasoftware.com">us know</A> once the button or banner is up, because then we will check your site, and add your name into our monthly draw. Maybe you become one of the two lucky winners who get a free copy of Opera. Life has never been better to you, has it? ;-)
