GMail anti-Opera, anti-Mac?



I've been trying for the past few days to get to GMail via my beloved Opera browser (identified as Opera in the User Agent) with no luck. All I get is the "Loading..." redirect page.

If so, wake up Google! Apple is here to stay long term. It's time to start planning for it.

Does anyone know how many people already subscribe to such services, both consumer and business, in other technologies? Think satellite radio, cable radio stations, sky angel, et cetera... To those that don't understand the nature of the beast, understanding what can be done with a computer, it is already standard practice for them in other markets. Why would this market be different to them? They'll want to listen to music on their computer, they'll find a service based on those that are shoved at them, some call this advertising, picking the most shoved one, to try first, and not think twice about it.
