Off-topic:

But I consider all those softwares you mentioned to be (still) bloody good at what they do too. So, why bother changing? ;-)



Norton Commander was awesome on MS DOS. Simple and elegant, yet powerful.

As for RAR - 95% of the time (emailing attachments), Zip would work just fine, especially on the receiving end, without forcing the recipient to install anything.


Don't you find RAR's compression ratio better? Besides one can use 7zip or peazip to open the RAR files anyway.

Nokia also does not seem to realise that it has a lot of customer goodwill in many, many countries. I wish and hope they do not squander it away.


I use zip because it's ubiquitous, but I use WinRAR to manage my zip archives because it's so much better than any other tool on Windows.
