Zipping, compressing, or archiving files allow large folders to move from one computer to another more easily. You know those towels that start out the size of a silver dollar before you add water? That’s the idea. Zipped files can be scanned for viruses before opening and are used to transfer photos, send in covers or endsheets, and upload proofs. No more speeding to Fed Ex before 4:30! Used in combination with free services like YouSendIt.com, entire assignments can fly to another computer in seconds.
