Silliness.
Everyone has an opinion, and in the case of computers., everyone has issues.
So you have firefox and winzip and can open stuff. WHOPPEEEE
Guess what!
Things should work with a default install. That's why Apple has zoomed to
the top.

Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] RayBay
bearpoint,
I am unclear about the purpose of your posting. I would certainly think
it
a waste of the list's time to debate the merits of any particular list
member's contributions generally as opposed to the merits of specific
comments in specific posts.
This is a (largely) unmoderated list, and unless the member in question is
somehow being consistently rude, or ignoring the rules of the list, then
the
best medicine for inaccurate information is correct information.

This is at least the second recent time RayBay has posted that he
can't open a zip file from a posted url. I'm running a ThinkPad with
XP SP3 and have WinZip 9. In all cases where RayBay has complained
that he can't access the file, I have had no problems. Double left
clicking brings up the Firefox download dialog, allowing me to choose
to save the file or open it with WinZip. Both work fine. No problem
viewing or downloading the files. Also, RayBay has at least twice
opened with something to the effect of "this is rarely a software
issue, but can be a driver or a hardware issue." Excuse my ignorance,
I'm no computer repair expert like RayBay claims to be, just a
self-taught amateur, but aren't drivers software? I post this with
some trepidation, since a post a long time ago criticizing RayBay
drew considerable vitriol, and I readily admit that some of his posts
provide valuable info, but in my opinion, more provide questionable,
unsupported (as serveral members have pointed out over time), or just
plain wrong info and opinion. I humbly accept all attacks, er
comments, constructive criticism?, defending RayBay. Just stating an
opinion.
