yeah for expanding rar files just go to download.cnet.com and search rar
the first one will work well

just google microsoft messenger mac
and you'll be able to find it

just pm me if you need more help with it

To extract .rar files I highly reccomend UnrarX.

MSN client go with Adium. You can have msn along with aim, gtalk etc.

I also reccomend quicksilver. You set up a hotkey and very quickly open programs, documents etc. I use it all the time.

Check out this http://www.opensourcemac.org/

If you dont have word get neo office.
