I ordered some cd&#8217;s to study for the MCAT, and the UPS delivery didn&#8217;t make it. When I called the company, angry about the money I had sent for over-night shipping, they sent me a link to download &#8220;mp3&#8217;s&#8221; of their lectures while I waited.

I didn&#8217;t want to spend any more money on new software, but I really didn&#8217;t want to catch a virus! I didn&#8217;t want to buy a WINRAR archiver from <a href=http:\/\/www.rarlab.com>http:\/\/www.rarlab.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>I am usually wary of free software, but I decided to at least look up the file type on wikipedia. In their external links section they led me to an open-source .rar unpacker. I&#8217;ve been using 7-zip ever since and have been very happy. It contained no worms or spyware, and didn&#8217;t install unwanted features or icons all over my desktop. I didn&#8217;t notice any bugs, and it extracts my files nicely. It also works with windows media player. I am not particularly savvy about software, and I have been burned before. I really am promoting this archiver, and I&#8217;ve found myself using it to extract all my compressed files, because it is so easy to use.
