To me, it appears Mike was trying to clue in Alex that he wants to leave. He’s got Kim waiting at home.

Now, if Mike had any guts at all, he’d drag Alex back home with him!!

Oh, the nostalgia for when Apple was a struggling underdog and put their logo on the laptop lid facing the user when closed, rendering it upside down when in use, facing the rest of the coffee shop. Bygones!

“Disable filters”? Did she mean to let Dad know about that one?

Zero points for subtlety, Bonus points for effectiveness.

It still amazes me that out of all the characters, it was screw-up Mike of all people who had the most stable, intelligent kid.

I was wondering why she had him read the list.

6: Check that you have enough floppy disks

All of the above.

This is where Mike should say, “Disable Filters?”

Very subtle, Alex!

Like Mark said, “Guilty, guilty, guilty guilty!”

Why is Alex’s computer upside down?

Mike doesn’t want to leave the kid alone with all those trees…..
