    It just worked for what it was for a time… Because it was better than WinZip or pkzip.

    Yes this is why it is loved as a piece of software history.

    I get you probably were a twinkle in your dad’s eye in those days, but that doesn’t mean people who were alive then should care less.

      Dude… I’m 50 years old and have worked in the technology industry since 1997.

      Which should be pretty obvious considering I mentioned fucking pkzip which was a DOS utility.

      Give me a fucking break with the condescension.

        Then, frankly, it’s weird that you said anything because you should know your history and, at 50, have enough of a grasp of how humanity functions to see why people are nostalgic.
