I personally find that story very hard to believe myself. Desktops back then the power switch actually physically disconnected the power (just like pulling the power out of the wall). And even if someone tapped into the phone line and could send any voltage, waveform, and/or signals, I don't see anyway one could access anything on a powered down computer. Don't forget the CMOS battery! The above is a joke, so please just LOL :-) (Even if it isn't funny) -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Latest is 7-Zip 9.32 alpha. No reason not to use it. ;-) Seems to me there are good reasons not to use it. To wit: "Don't use this alpha version to process important files and archives. The code of this version contains big number of changes. And probably there are some new BUGs." "If you need more stable version, you can use previous versions: 7-Zip 9.25 alpha or 7-Zip 9.30 alpha." That's only to scare the n00bs. ;-) I've been using 7-Zip beta versions for ages now and never a problem. I've been using this latest alpha version since it came out and no problems, so far. I use 7-Zip almost every day to extract files. I can't say if there are any problems creating 7z or ZIP archives. -- s|b |
