The Voice of the DBA What's a Toaster?

MEVIOtoday

Feb 03, 2010 What's a Toaster?

The other day I purchased Winzip 14 since I needed to unlock a .RAR file. I posted a note on twitter since I was surprised that it was at v14. The last time installed this a few years ago, it was v11. How much change is needed in a zip utility? I suppose there are new formats available, but do they really need a new version?

I got a number of responses that recommended WinRAR, 7-Zip and more. However I grew up using WinZip years ago, it's worked well, and I don't mind spending a little $$ on a good utility. It's polished, and been rock solid for me. And it reminded me of something Andy Warren says:

"It's a toaster."
