Well, I would tell you that Opera doesn't have a calendar, so it is not a PIM application at all. I would also say that Konqueror and Kontact ( the shell that combines Kmail, korganizer, akgregator, knotes, and others) integrate very well with the KDE desktop. Using them together is bliss. If you are for whatever reason unsatisfied with the kde-pim/konqueror, or would simply prefer a differant PIM suite, check out Mozilla. You can either use Sunbird, Thunderbird (or tbird w/ lightning calendar extension), and Firefox separately, or use SeaMonkey for all purposes. Actually, I like IceApe (seamonkey) on debian with the extensions: Howard Chu's calendar extension (more modern than the one mozilla used to ship out. google for it.), enigmail, multizilla, and chatzilla. It becomes a very tightly-integrated solution that runs from one program, that actually has a similar footprint to Firefox itself. I still kde-pim. It gets more attention and integrates with the desktop better. I only run Opera to test website compatibility. -- Matthew K Poer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Location: GA, USA Web: http://matthewpoer.freehostia.com GnuPG Public Key: 4DD0A9A6 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net
