Why all the silly requests for this to go away? - flyinglow2

Upgrade to Leopard. It does this & front row for every computer.

Because it's become a self perpetuating fraud - younkint

Long ago, Macs did not have file compression built in to the system. Those days are long gone. This software is a vestige of days past. Why do you think Aladdin dumped this to Smith Micro years ago? Smith Micro made a bad business decision to buy Stuffit, and now they're stuck with it. The only way they can make back their investment is to constantly hit you with PAID "upgrades" that add little or no functionality to the program. Should I mention the SPAM? Smith Micro needs to get out of the Mac software business and stick to their PC SPAM ...Windows users expect it, so they'll fit right in.

If developers would quit using this (actually, nearly all have) there would be zero reason to have it at all.

If you want to decompress a .sit file (and I haven't seen one in years), use the FREE "The Unarchiver."

The next time someone sends me a .sit file (unlikely these days...), I am going to contact them to request it be sent as a .zip.
