Do NOT try to distort what I said; what you said is HOGWASH.

Opera continues to support a mind-boggling array of platforms
(including mobile phones).
On the older platforms, they rely on *users* to find and report bugs
but Opera **does** patch the bugs that are reported. 
From the Usenet Archive (opera.general)  Rijk van Geijtenbeek, Opera Software
news:op.uklrydi8j2qftn@desktop-01.lan

Opera's download links have always listed "Windows"
with NO distinction between variants.
In its effort to compete with Free Software / Open Source Software,
(closed source, freeware) Opera has NOT dropped any of its supported platforms.

With a minor system update, Opera will run under Windoze 95 as well.
