Dear fellow Austechwriters,
No doubt you've seen me champion the Opera Web browser, from
<http://www.opera.com> , for your personal computer on this list before
(although I have no financial interest in that company or its products).
Now I would also like to draw your attention to the availability of the
Opera browser for mobile phones and PDAs, with the following extract from
The Astor Theatre Web site.

For those of you who reside in or visit Melbourne, I also wholeheartedly
recommend that you see a movie double at The Astor Theatre, a restored Art
Deco cinema at the corner of Chapel Street & the Princes Highway, Windsor.
It has the best widescreen (70mm) and surround setup you could ask for (and
fab home made cakes, choc ices and brewed coffee ...and tickets - even
prepaid in bulk - at fair prices). No, I don't have a financial interest
in that either.
For more, see: <http://www.astor-theatre.com/>. Get in touch and they'll
mail you a poster (just quietly, the greatest free promotional "wrapping
paper" in the known Universe. Bunches available at the door.).
Cheers,
Michael Granat
