I am really new to Macs a couple weeks in fact. I have heard great things about them but I always had a windows PC. I never had such issiues with compression files with a PC. My downloaded software always worked unless it was mistakenly for the wrong platform 3.1 insted of Win 95 lets say. I have never been so frustrated . I bought a PC instead of a Mac years ago when I walked into the now extinct Comp Usa and saw all the window based software and goodies for PC and this tiny little section of about 2 racks of Mac software. I said Hmmm no brainer I bought a PC and thought Mac was going to go extinct but it's still around. I would really like to be a Mac fan but I find it's like being a Sado masochist so far.

Zip files work great pop right open stuffit files just sit (no Pun) there and laugh at you Na Na Na na na. and then if you want another version expander guess what? It's a compressed file just like the one you previosly couldn't open in the first place!!!!! Please shoot me now! Help!
