The term 'pleb' is used by non-plebs (who know who they are) to describe people who aren't like them. (Oh all right then, it's short for plebeian)...

Macs aren't for downloading and playing games. They're for more serious fun. Expensive. Yes. But like Stella Artois, reassuringly so.

Can't comment on keyboard.

They're all bought by and for my work, palio. And, in any event, my CNP propaganda campaigns demand a high performance computer, equipped with the very latest graphic design software.

No, but I have staff who use Final Cut Pro, After Effects and Flash animation, which are industry standard video editing software.

To paraphrase a famous and rather non-PC saying, "once you go Mac, there's no going back."

Once installed then Open WinRar

Locate the directory where you have stored ALL the rar files for the post you want and double click on it.

Highlight the file in the archive. To extract the file, simply click on the "Extract to" button which is one of the icons displayed on top of the opening dialog box. Alternatively you can right click and select "extract to"

Either action will cause a new window to pop up:

Note the destination path, which is by default a "New" folder by the name of the archive which will be placed directly under the directory where the rars are. You can use the default destination as shown in the window or browse for a loaction of your choice (using the drop down menu on the upper part of the window)

Also note the "Keep Broken files" check box on the left. If your archive has bad or missing rars, or you wish to preview the movie, checking this box will allow you a down and dirty way of extracting a partial file.

There are are two possible Warning windows you could see if for some reason you don't have all the files or if the files are corrupt...

thats too much effort to unrar files all you do is locate the .rar file right click and extract, as long as the files are all there you will be ok
