    Help me IT nerds!

    What software do I need to download to open a compressed RAR file?

    Somebody just asked me this and I haven't a clue what to tell them.

    She's a girl too so I'd appreciate any help with solving her problem.

    Though I'm curious, will I gain points for solving her quandry or lose them because she'll think I'm an IT geek. I mean, I look the part even if I don't know much...
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    if when she tries to open the file, she will be given an option to use the net to find a program to open this file.

    it will give u a few options, she can pick what ever one she wants.

    or just go into download.com and put in rar extracter
    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
