Sorry Opera

Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Technical

As much as I love you, I can’t continue to use you. You come bundled with all the neat things that I would possibly need so that I don’t need to go find accessories to make you work better. I don’t need to worry about any ill conceived accessory that make you unstable and overly fat.

My dear Opera, you fetch news that I like from around the Internet quickly and discretely for me, and you make it so easy and even pleasurable for me to browse news items. Best of all, I can always leave you when I feel like it. I can always go back to you, and you let me continue where I left off. More importantly, you’re just so, damn slim and sexy. You’re so light I can always multitask, doing other things while I’m still working with you.

I’ve always loved you. It’s been nearly 2 years. For 2 years, you’ve stuck by me through changing environments.

Sadly, there’s this new friend of mine, Ms Wireless Mouse 5000. Why must you refuse to work with her? She’s quite nice once you get to know her y’know. Every time when she’s around, you’d just bounce up and down so impatiently, I can hardly work with you nor read my favorite news. I can’t search for the latest music and movies to download. You see, using you became such a pain. I’m so sorry I have to use such words on you dear..

I’m afraid I’m left with no choice but to replace you. But worry not! Internet Explorer the 7th is definitely a few classes below you. I know you hate her even more, the only other alternative is Firefox. Sure I miss nice perks like “speed dials”, but you’ve got to understand, the way you twitch when Ms Wireless Mouse 5000 is working with you is just unbearable.

Sorry to break the news to you, but some lads have created not a mind bogglingly great extension to Firefox that makes it so much easier for me to design websites and debug JavaScript. Though Firefox isn’t as slim as you are, but some guy managed to make Firefox portable! Since I can’t install programs at my office, I can’t bring you to work. So sad to say, I work with Firefox, even at the office.

Sorry Opera, I miss you.. I promise to return to you when you’ve calmed down and decide to work with Ms Wireless Mouse 5000. Until then, take care!
