Opera, IBM voice

Just the other day I suggested that Cybil upgrade her grandfather's browser to Opera, even though I rarely use it or even test for it, because he's running at 800x600 on a large monitor and can't see it well enough to read. Opera is the only browser I know of with screen zoom, not just text zoom, and now on top of that it's getting a built in text reader. Combine the accessibility support with the moves it's making on the mobile browsing market I'm no longer so supprised at the rumor I heard that they are going public. Only concern now is that they may be like a 3rd party candidate in a two party system. I'll have to think about it, is promoting Opera like throwing your vote away to Nadar? Might it be idiologically the best option, but wind up being just like you'd voted for bush/gates. Or is promoting absolutely anybody other than MS the best thing to do?
