Thing 24: Got file conversion issues?


This from Chris Whyley who co-founded Zamzar with his brother Mike:

"The name that we chose for the company - "Zamzar" - is based on a character from the German author Franz Kafka's book "The Metamorphosis". In the novel Kafka describes the extraordinary story of a young man who is transformed overnight whilst sleeping into a gigantic beetle. The man's name - Gregor Samsa - was used as the basis for our company name because of its' powerful association with change & transformation."

Not only IT wizards but literate as well! This is a really nifty tool for converting files from one format to another. Covers Image, Doc, Music and Video formats. Will be particularly useful converting Word to PDF files...... must go and play some more.
