Re: interested operator, maybe test

Bryan,

This is great!  The GOK (Gnome On-screen Keyboard) project is looking 
for testers.  We are doing testing in house (Toronto, Canada), and are 
looking at setting up a test room in the Bay area (California).  Are you 
close to either of these locations?  In any event we are looking for 
feedback from anyone.  

Do you use Opera for the visual flexibility it has?

cheers,
