If you are having a site built, remember to click reload or refresh when viewing your site so that you are not viewing a cached page.

Email
The email programs supplied with most browsers are clumsy and not intuitive at all. My personal preference is Thunderbird. Microsoft email packages are very popular, but are prime targets for virus attack.

Zip files
These are archived files - groups of files squeezed together into one large file in such a manner that the whole is much small than the sum of it's parts, making for faster transmission over the net. Some are self-extracting, others require the appropriate decompression software, the most popular of which is WinZip. You can get a copy of this from any of the software repositories on the net.
