I can't remember what the piece of software was that I was giving the guy a copy of, but this is true recap of how the conversation went. Keep in mind that this guy was a senior in the IA program. The program was given to him in a .rar archive.
Him: So how do I install this?
Me: Unpack the archive and run setup.exe
Him: How do I do that? Windows can't open the file.
Me: Download 7zip
Him: Winzip7?
Me: No, 7zip.
Him: Winzip7?
Lets just skip over how long this back and forth went on.
Finally he opens up a browser and Googles Winzip7. Interestingly enough, 7zip was one of the first couple hits. I pointed to it and screamed "That one!" At this point, class started so I don't know how much more pain and suffering was involved in the installation of the program. But after class, he said he got it installed.
