A Great Archive Let Down By Sequencing

Advantages: Fidelity is great, songwriting, guitar playing and vocals superb, thorough research
Disadvantages: Sequencing - the track order is frustrating

The subject of selling one's soul to the Devil has prevailed in American culture since the mid nineteenth century but is no more well known than in the case of blues man Robert Johnson. There is little information as to his life and only 2 photographs exist of him. As a young man, it has been told, he went to the crossroads and sold his soul to the devil in exchange for mastery of the guitar. Johnson died at 27 from an apparent poisoning from a bottle of whiskey. Rumour has circulated as to the identity and motivation of the alleged killer: jilted lover, scorned husband victim of Johnson's philandering, or the devil coming to collect.

Powering up the Archives

Advantages: Its free, it supports many file types, it has great compression and so many other features.

I read the review and thought id give it a try, once download I installed Power Archiver 2000 I loaded it up and was shocked by the amount of features introduced by this program. Power Archiver 2000 has full support for most compression types including: Zip, Lha, Rar, bin, hqx and so much more. The program even includes options to add itself to the right click menu of files and folders.
