Zip on a mac
Is it possible to open a zip folder on a Mac computer? And if so, how? My sister just got a Macbook and I want to transfer some files over in a zip folder...

Hold down control, click what you want zipped, choose "Create Archive from..".

To unzip, double click a zip file.

Compared to WinZip or WinRAR, stuffit totally sucks.

illEATurHARTout: a "zip folder" is a windows term only. Generally, you're talking about "archives", only.

Yes, "stuffit" can extract the files.

Yeah, but it's really annoying if say you want to download an archive of pictures or something and it's a SIT file
