If you download Opera, get one for Slackware 8.1 (or 9.0), and you will 
also need to add the library files in Steven's xlibs.tgz package (or some 
similar name) and the Slackware 8.1 (or 9.0) glibc solibs package, or at 
least a few library files from it.  Slackware 8.1 has version glibc 2.2.5, 
and what I downloaded would only work with a later version 3.2.3, and that 
version of the library will not work with the BL kernel, so it gets 
complicated.

I know Opera 8.54 for Slackware 8.1 will work (with the added X libraries 
and glibc files).

We can get five hours/day for $4/month from one place.

It would be cheaper to write them all and have only one account.
