OPERA
“So John, are you into Opera?”
This is one of those leading questions that I’ve learned to be careful about. “I’m not sure,” I hedged. “I haven’t really gotten into it… how about you?”
“Yeah me neither,” he said. “I’m not sure why, but I don’t think it’s my cup of tea.”
Ok, no more need to hedge – we were in solid agreement. “You know what I think it is? Opera is really aggressive about caching files when you’re surfing the web. Like, you’ll be hitting refresh AND you’ll clear the cache, and it will STILL serve you the old file.”
My friend just looked at me in horror. He was, of course, referring to opera the music, not Opera the Web Browser.
This conversation may have been a low point in my life.

Bwahahahahhahahaha!!!!
Good job that the conversation wasn’t centered on Flash.
HAHAHA!! That cracks me up!!
Too funny…
Sad thing is, I thought about Opera the Web Browser instead of the music, too.
Man, your friend is a complete philistine!!
HAhaha…Isn’t that one of the signs you are online too much?
*spits water on keyboard*
LOL… I was thinking music, too. Actually that is a pretty high low point for a life. I hope it remains so.
I thought “music” too – and

LOL – Oh the horror – hee hee hee – I’ve had a few of these conversations, it’s much funnier when I’m on the outside.
I thought music first as well … thats funny tho
Nerd alert!
Ohhhhh!! That’s a classic! I had thought that it was music, but when I saw your response.. I thought sheesh, he means the browser, glad it wasn’t me, I would have made a fool of myself.. than Whamo! It WAS the music! I am was saved from a virtual blushing.
Better you than me. hehe.
Cute, cute, cute story! You should tell any future dates that story, it will endear you to them. Well.. that’s coming from someone who has a thing for the slightly geeky types.
hehe, I put myself in that situation…I’d just give undescriptive, indecisive answers until I was sure which opera he was talking about
I have no idea what opera the web browser is… at least you knew about both types of operas.
You computer people rule the world. (at least that’s what my personal Mr. computer analyst says)
Hey don’t feel bad. After all, browsers are your life. LOL.
oh man that’s great. just another reason to adore you
I know I shouldn’t laugh, but um well it IS funny.
How to Tell You Spend Too Much Time Online…
andy, i refuse to accept that browsers are my life!
they are part of my life! but there are other parts too! like umm… well, lemme get back to you, i have a list of them somewhere.
My first question: Music or browser?
LOL
Probably because I read VM so much.
