Adam: Oh, you've gotta be... @#!%&* $!@#@#&!! stupid computer... Laura: Did I just hear you say your computer is stupid? Adam: Yes, Laura. It is stupid. It refuses to do what I tell it to. Therefore: stupid. Laura: Maybe it's just stubborn. Adam: No, no. It's not very bright. That or it just doesn't like me. Laura: Maybe it's possessed. Katy: Why is dad waving beads and an owner's manual at his computer? Adam: The power of Jobs compels you!

Maybe you should make a sacrifice to the computer gods Adam – I’m sure they like coffee too.

“Not very bright?” Maybe something’s wrong with the backlight…

Using an Apple is only a problem if you only like oranges!

The computer is not stupid. It is not dim. Unless you adjust the brightness. On the other hand – it is possessed. Whether by gremlins (when a good computer goes bad) or by a mind of its own. I just realized with today’s strip – I have had a different computer since June. And I have yet to mutter “I hate you.”

There’s a theory that if a system reaches the same complexity of a human brain, it has a chance to wake up, become self aware. The Internet is pervasive and about to become more so. Google “The Internet of Things”. When the Great Router wakes up, things will become very interesting.

The problem with computer is they do what you TELL them to do, not what you WANT them to do.
