Nothing pointless though, because i'm low on hard drive space as it is.

Or do anything =]

Quick Google search revealed UnRarX.  Not sure if it does what you'll need (I've never used it).

For me, the absolute most useful program on my Mac is "Default Folder". This program saves you from the hassle of having to constantly dig through folders when you open and save, which is one of th ebiggest annoyances when using Mac or PC.  Try it and see...

Wow, there are alot of Mac users now!  We should have a Mac vs. PC scrimmage! lol  We'll have to hold every map though so Mac users can type "gg" at the beginning of the next game!

How about the ability to upgrade 90% of your hardware?


Don't forget Boot Camp, so you can be different and run Windows too...

If you don't have them already. Halo...(of course) and multimedia programs (ie. Final Cut Studio and iLife) unique to Macs only.  "Stuffit"  is the mac equivalent of WinZip.

You can create Zip files directly in the Finder.  Just select the file/folder, then choose Compress -filename- from the File menu.


or you can from the Context Menu, by selecting the file/folder and press the Control Key as shown below:

Since we're on the topic of great software that's built-in to OS X, you can create PDFs from any application... it's in the Print dialog. But you knew that already. I just couldn't help myself.
