Opera in your community:
Opera revamps MyOpera community and enhances the Opera Composer

OSLO, Norway -- Sept. 11, 2001 - Opera Software today opened the revamped
MyOpera community and released the second edition of their popular Opera
Composer, inviting users to join an Opera community or create their own. 

The Opera Composer lets users build their own community by inviting them to
customize their own Web browser and distribute it to friends, family,
customers or colleagues for free. In this new version, users can customize
their own Web browser for the Linux platform as well as for Windows, and
increases the number of language customizations for Windows to 15 by adding
Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian,
Norwegian Bokmal and New Norwegian, Portuguese-Brazilian, Portuguese,
Spanish, and Swedish in addition to English.

In the new MyOpera community users can communicate with each other, read the
daily comic strip or participate in the daily poll, exchange skins and
buttons to enhance their Web browsing experience.

"The Opera Composer and the new MyOpera site are examples of great ways to
build or join a community online, and we hope that our many millions of users
will choose to do both," says CEO Jon S. von Tetzchner. "We will continually
work to add extra services to the MyOpera community and extra platforms and
languages to the Opera Composer."

You can customize your Web browser on the Linux platform or in 15 different
languages on the Windows platform at composer.opera.com.
