Opera was first released publicly with version 2.0 in 1996, which only ran on Microsoft Windows. In an attempt to capitalize on the emerging market for Internet-connected handheld devices, a project to port Opera to mobile device platforms was started in 1998. Opera 4.0, released in 2000, included a new cross-platform core that facilitated creation of editions of Opera for multiple operating systems and platforms.

Julie (mango)

The 'Julie' mango is a named mango cultivar that was made popular in the Caribbean.

History

The origin of the 'Julie' mango is not known for sure but recent genetic studies show that it was possibly descended from cultivars introduced to the Caribbean through Jamaica from Réunion.; its monoembryonic trait suggests it is descended from the Indian line of mangoes.

'Julie' was recognized for its outstanding flavor and its dwarf growth habit. It was introduced to the United States via south Florida by Lawrence Zill, a nurseryman and horticulturalist known for producing new mango varieties. Several Florida varieties are descended directly or indirectly from 'Julie', including 'Sophie Fry', 'Gary' and 'Carrie'. 'Julie' is also the parent of 'Graham', a variety from Trinidad.

'Julie' proved to be difficult to adapt to the humid climate of Florida, however, and was very susceptible to fungus, making it unsuitable for commercial growing. Nevertheless, the variety was sold as nursery stock for home growing and continues to be done so on a limited scale. It remains a popular variety in the West Indies, where it is often referred to as 'Saint Julian' mango.
