take this app and stuffit
Published Wednesday, February 04, 2009 by geo.
If you've been working on Macs anytime through the 90s, you're undoubtedly familiar with the program Stuffit. It was invaluable for file compression on a Mac, as zipping files would often render the files unusable.
Since the original developer moved on, Stuffit has become bloated and requires annual paid "upgrades." Very similar to what happened to RealPlayer. What was once very useful has become shitty, bloated, old-fashioned software, run by a company that will do whatever it takes to milk it's eroding user base.
So when I read about their useless software contest, where they ask for submissions on how you stuffit, I couldn't resist.
Stuffit is awsome. I regularly use it on my SE/30 so I can fit lots of files on my floppy disk. It saves a lot on postage, since I only have to mail one floppy instead of three or four.
It is WAYYYYYYYY better than using zip, because you can use stuffit on Windows AND Mac. Plus it's sorta free sometimes, and doesn't fill nag me to register, or offer costly useless version updates. Plus it never changes file associations without permission!
Stuffit is the wave of the future!
Yes, I really do feel much better now, thank you very much.
