THE 1 MILLION DOWNLOAD CHALLENGE - Opera Web Browser

As Jack reported last week, the Opera 8 browser has been released.

Perhaps you had heard that Opera's CEO made a bold pledge to swim from Norway to the USA if Opera reached 1,000,000 downloads in four days. Web users being dedicated souls, made it happen and now Jon Tetzchner is being true to his word. Okay, he's in the water at least. No one wants to see him get hurt. He may not get out of Oslo fjord, but it looks like we will be treated to a little self-effacing Web humor starting with a route map showing a stop for "Mum's Chocolate" in Iceland and pictures of Jon in the water with Norwegian and US flags.

Of course, we wish Jon and Opera 8 well.
