I am a long time user of Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X. Seeing that we now can make series of screenshots and save them in to any supported video format in Zeta / BeOS is just GREAT!
Lets hope the developer continues his development and makes it in to a complete screen capture tool.

You will have to sign up at the BeOS purchase page, and enter your reg.key in the appropriate field: https://secure.bmtmicro.com/opera/buy-beos.html and than download the application from their FTP-server.
Jakob Snilsberg also pointed out that the browser is an old product, and it might not work for you. But since it is "free" (provided you have an Opera license) you shouldn't have any problems to test if it works for you/your system or not. If you don't have a license you can test it for 30 days and purchase a license for $10.-
The Opera v3.62 is still a good choice for BeOS users as it may help you with pages that don't show correctly with Net+. Another thing is that it lets you print out pages, something that Firebird in the time of writing isn't capable of. It also lets you fill in fields without the cursor malplacing often experienced with Firebird.
Until something better comes along, this solves some of the browser problems experienced on Zeta/BeOS.
Jakob Snilsberg has also posted the news in the forums over at ZetaNews.

Bradley's claim to fame is that he devised the most famous - and probably most used - three key combination in computer history: Ctrl-Alt-Del.
When the PC industry celebrated the PC's 20 year anniversary in 2001, Bradley came with the famous quote:
"I may have invented control-alt-delete, but Bill Gates made it really famous."
This comment brought boundless laughter from the PC loving crowd. Bill Gates did not even crack a smile.
