Comic Transcript

ALEX: Technical support, Alex speaking.

CUSTOMER: yes, I'm calling back from yesterday...

CUSTOMER: You told me the drivers I needed to get MegaWordSoftPro 7.0 to print properly were on your 1-900 BBS, but when I loaded them, all they did was disable my modem. What kind of shell game are you people running here?

ALEX: That's a bug in the driver, sir. if it were working properly, it would have disconnected your phone as well.

Endorsements

"Desperately Unfunny."

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"

"Why has this been running since 1996? Who actually reads it? Who is the idiot who reads it every day and posts the 'good' ones up on reddit? Doesn't he realize he is wasting his time?"
