It's easy for Windows users to forget that WinZip isn't the only file-compression utility in the world. Like its better-known competitors, the free 7-Zip unpacks a host of archive formats, including ZIP, TAR, GZ, and its own 7z format. Unlike WinZip, though, it can create TAR and GZ archives, which are commonly used on Unix and Linux systems.
The following video, it features one of my absolute favorite freeware programs, 7 Zip. If will let you open .rar files, and give you great compression rates. It can also be used to open virtually any other kind of archived file, including .zip and .ISO . I would definitely recommend this to anyone using a WinRar trial, or the default Windows Compressor. |

What began as a freeware project to easily share basic screen captures and screen recordings has grown into a solid application and capture distribution system with a premium component. Jing's attractive application takes a sound, simple approach to capturing; begin by dragging the crosshairs to define your capture field and then take a still or start a recording.

Google email ("Gmail") account
There are many advantages of having a Google email ("Gmail") account.
You will have access to the vast amount of services Google has to offer
and any services they will offer in the future. You can find the list
of Google services HERE.
If you do not have an email address or are looking for a second one
then I recommend signing up for a free Google Mail account. Gmail offers
more free features with less ads than any other webmail provider.
