Why the heck does intuit insist on distributing files to mac users in a format that OS X can't even natively open? Retardedness.

The same reason that none of these companies have UB versions out yet.Friday, February 17 2006 @ 04:10 AM PST

hqx is a unix filewrapper -- and it was the safest way to email or post to web in the 90s. So it really isn't all that stupid. The question is, why doesn't OS X natively recognize the suffix map and decode accordingly. The problem here is with Apple, not Intuit (for once).In OS 9, we had both Stuffit and hqxer for managing these files. Stuffit is still a useful utility, and frankly, it's a whole lot better than .zip. Most folks don't even bother to wrap their files in file compression anymore.

Yeah, it's no longer the 90s. Someone should tell Intuit.Saturday, February 25 2006 @ 01:22 PM PST

Took all of about 8 seconds to have stuffit translate the file. It really isn;t that retarded to do...Reply to This
