Anyone who makes a 7zip file for public consumption should no longer be allowed to use computers. Please contact your representatives.

i save all my files to the desktop and once it gets too full i make a folder and drag everything in there

then once i have too many folders i make a folder for the folders

I call that one "Master Files"

7zip produces the smallest file sizes of any of the major archive formats, deal with it.

The only thing that sucks about 7zip is the amateurish, win95 looking interface. So just use winrar to open archives.

No. No, no, no. 7’s the key number here. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man. That’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch, eating lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You know that old children’s tale from the sea? You’re dreaming about Gorgonzola cheese when it’s Brie time, baby.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I use Linux so I just double click the file and it opens. :shrug:

I’m pretty sure the only time in the last 10 years I’ve had to unzip anything is when downloading giant mod files for Simcity 4.

I'm going to archive this thread as .7z and put it into my rear end, and there's nothing you can do about it OP. I snort and guffaw at anyone who would be caught dead with a .zip or .rar stuffed into their rectum

There ought to be a software to make your files bigger and more intimidating imo. Like the opposite of zipping let's call it zapping
