Muddiest Point--Week Four

My muddiest point this week concerns compression.  If I have text files on my computer (Word documents, Excel files,) and I want to compress them so I can store many files on a flash drive or some other storage device, how can I do it?  And then, how do I reconstruct (uncompress?  decompress?) the files when I need to use them?

  1. Print it all out, fold it in half twice, seal it in a zip-lock bag with a few grains of rice.
    Decompression is essential to avoid the "bends." An inexpensive hyperbaric chamber can be purchased online for around $5,000.00 (US). Shipping will be quite expensive, however....

    I hope this was helpful.
