Compression Utilities - Unpacking RAR and 7zip

video inspired by a message i had gotten a few days ago. and also a post on lifehacker.com on top of that, there really aren't that many of these videos out there.

installing just one of the utilities mentioned will unpack those RAR and 7zip files

Ice, I installed 7zip when my free WinZip expired. I'm happy to see this tutorial, and since it's yours, I knew it'd be excellent. I even gave you 5 stars while I was waiting for it to start up. Thanks for your generosity!
