Love me some paninis!

I started on Windows, switched to Mac (my business did), and loved it. Now they’ve switched back to Windows, and I’m crying. If only Mac would go a little cheaper.

Love subscripted by dollars isn’t love. It is just a passing respect for convenience.

I’m a PC and I love my computer.

I’ve heard about it, and I need to know more about it myself.

Today’s the day…

IF OUR SON BUYS ONE, DOES THIS MEAN HE WON’T BE TEXTING WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO SPEAK WITH HIM?????

I’m not a Mac and I’m not a PC. I’m a human being and I like my hand tools, acoustical musical instruments, and hard bound books with acid-free paper and leather covers. Computers are cool for reading comics our local rag won’t carry, though.

@Bob Hasty

no he’ll be on MSN or updating his Facebook profile.

I have a teenage child as well, I feel your pain

It even makes universal health care!

It also makes excellent grilled cheese sandwiches…

…..and props up the short leg on the table.

@Bob Hasty Is it impolite to text when your mouth is full?

Virtual grill-lines…. and I think I have melted gruyrere messing up my touchscreen.

It not only balances your checkbook, but goes to work for you. It also cures cancer! Amazing!

The computer is our Universal Tool.

The application programs are bits, the hardware is the shaft, and the user interface (GUI or CLI) is the handle.

Once the handle fits our hand, most of us just want to get Work done, not fiddle with the tool… but do anyway!

A big iPod Touch . It’s not even overglorified .

A great improvement over the old technology.

I think it’s wonderful! The iPad is our real life version of the 1960’s Star Trek series’ PADD. It was a portable, cordless device with a screen you could write upon with a stylus. It could be linked with the Enterprise’s library computor, remember? I was wondering if I should ever hope that the utopian technology from Star Trek, their Food Replicators, is on the way too. After seeing this comic, I’m a believer! If only apple could’ve called their device “The Real PADD!” a tie-in with the huge ST franchise would’ve raked in even more money than they’ll get now by calling it the nearest thing to PADD–iPad. .

apple, give us a food replicator next!

Star Trek Lives!
