Hello

I just read on Slashdot that Opera 6.0 for linux is out.  I've been using
Opera for sometime and I like it alot.  If you haven't tried it, you
should.

Also, here is a quote from slashdot  which I don't quite understand:
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
   Opera has the best interface. They invinted tabs and gestures. Mozilla   
   has coppied these, though. They also were the first with built-in popup  
   blocking. Unfortunately, it blocks all pop-up's even requested ones.     
   Mozilla now does everything special Opera does (exctept for righ-left    
   click for back and left-right click for forward) and Mozilla has         
   superior popup support.                                                  
                                                                            
   I can't wait till moz 1.0 comes out. I am building my grandpa a          
   computer with OpenOffice 1.0, Mozilla 1.0, and Slackware (with           
   windowmaker). That's all he needs.                                       
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            


What does the author mean by gestures?  I've even heard it refered to as
mouse gestures.  What is that?
