Brother, can you spare a dime?

Opera Software is offering licenses for Opera6 for only $29USD.

$29 people. There's a world of crappy shareware out there that costs more than that. Plus it comes with a free upgrade to Opera 7 when it comes out.

Is it worth it? Let's see.

Assume for a minute that Opera releases updates for Opera7 for at least a year, so your $29/today will give you a license for Opera for at least 12 months.
That's $2.42/month.
Or $0.56/week.
Or $0.08/day.

That also gives you personal email support. Got a question? Get an answer. Try getting that from Microsoft. Heck, try getting someone @ Mozilla to answer your questions for $0.08/day.

It's a good deal.

(ps - if you have already bought a license for Opera, [it is my understanding that] you will be able to upgrade to Opera for approximately $15/USD so this deal isn't for you unless you want to give Opera some extra money.)
