Jason: Please. Can't we get a new computer?
Andy: No.
Jason: Please can't we get a new computer?
Andy: No!
Jason: Pleeeease can't we get a new computer?
Andy: Jason, no! Not as long as our current one works! Let me rephrase that.
Based on what that PC looks like, this comic might have been published back in the ’90s or late ’80s–pre-internet era. But then I don’t know anything about the history of Foxtrot.
If I feel like, I’ll punch it up and see. … Probably not.
You’ve got it right about viruses. This gocomics secions with comments gives my computer lots of virus and a scan has to be done until we had to replace it. We actually need to update but takes a lot of money we don’t have.

Hmmm… I know a website that he could use to fill the thing with viruses… But I’m not going to post it here, in case someone accidentally goes to it.

He wants a new one because:
A.The computer is old B.It’s an Apple computer which doesn’t have a lot of games that are compatible for it.

If I remember my my Foxtrot history correctly, the ‘puter is an “iFruit”. But that might be the next computer they get.
