How do you open[or "unzip"]a ZIP file?

If you have Windows ME or XP, or Apple OS X, just double-click on the zip file or folder.
Once you double-click on that file or folder, it should open just as if it were a regular file or folder on your computer.
What if you don't have Windows ME or XP or Apple OS-X? Well you need to download and install a special piece of software that will zip and unzip files. This may sound like more trouble than it is worth, but a zip/unzip program is an ESSENTIAL tool, especially if you are going to be using the Internet a lot. In fact, call someone you know who is a computer guru, someone whose advice you trust implicitly, and ask her if she could live without her zip program. She'll laugh. Zip programs are THAT important.
