This was originally published on October 20, 1995. I barely remember testing this, but it seems like a neat idea.

This was originally published on October 7, 1995. WinZip was the first GUI based utility to bring compression to the masses. It's funny, as I still have a very nice WinZip lithograph framed in my office. Today, WinZip has fallen to the wayside in terms of popularity, but it's still a great little utility.

This is a pretty interesting article. It was a press release, but I didn't find it anywhere on Google, so I am republishing it here. It came out on October 7, 1995, and 12 years into the future it's amazing how well Michael Miller did. Yes, some are pretty generic, but it's almost dead on. The comments in bold and italics are mine.
