Joetheeskimo Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Well, this has to be the millionth thread where I complained about not having a good comp. Biut this will be the last until next winter, because my Mom's Christams Bonus isn't enough. She wanted to pay off the credit card and have enough money left over to buy my computer parts, but because her company's sales dropped due to PKWare, she won't be able to. I have to wait until next Christams. (btw, for those of you who don't know my Mom works for Winzip. PKWare is one of her competetors.) I'll have to save up and buy the parts, one by one...
DarkLord60 Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Winzip cause its most commonly used but Winrar compresses better.
Acrylic Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I use Winzip for .zip files, and Winrar for .rar files.
Jedi Luke Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Winzip because the most common form of compression is .zip.
Pie™ Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Originally posted by Acrylic I use Winzip for .zip files, and Winrar for .rar files. same here... sorry bout your pc joe
topshot Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I use mostly just WinZip, the most common utility out there.
MasterSidious Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Winzip rocks! I don't know why winzip sales are dropping cause of PKWare, I've never even heard of PKWare before. Good luck with some new computer parts.
Darth Eggplant Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I am using winzip version 8 I believe, it is a free download from the web, is a paid for version better? I like winzip and am very happy using it, but like most programs due to the fact that my financial situation; is well no situation, I tend to need programs and applications to be free. and yes I can relate to wanting a new computer. I was actaully in a computer store and saw KotoR on the shelf, and thought, well maybe I should actually owna Star Wars game; but the 1 gig mhz minimum requirement bleww that idea. my HAL9000 is not quite up to snuff anymore. which is a shame cause MYST has a new gae called Uru and I wont be able to play it either. anyhow I did not know your mom worked for winzip, its good to see winzip has a postive hiring practice for women, native americans and eskimo's:)
Mex Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I use Winzip and Winrar.. But Winzip gets annoying sometime because it takes a long time to unzip large files.
Agen Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Well winzip but I use winrar for rar files and huge files (it compresses a bit better)
SkinWalker Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I use WinRar exculisively. It handles .zip for compression and decompression and can decompress many, many file types including (I think) some of the older ones like .pak and .arj. ARJ used to be my alltime fav though. .rar files compress a little better than .zip files.

Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 WinZip is what my computer came with so I'm gonna say that...

Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Well juding by your avatar acrylic, I'd think you'd be the one telling him what he can and can not use

Hermie Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 I really dont care. BUT, that doesnt give Joe more resemblance to a stone i have both WinZip and WinRAR at my dads, and stufflt at on my moms mac.
Surfnshannon Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Win zip. Doesn't it automatically uncompress files in win xp. I never noticed what I use on my home computer because of this.
