Comic Transcript

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Mark, despite my preference for the contrary... if Phil and Barry are unable to convince this computer program to choose someone other than you, I'll be obliged to take its advice.

MARK: Er... what?

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Well I need to sue someone.

PHIL: Don't worry Mark, we figured it out.

BARRY: It was an ingenious solution.

PHIL: Basically we added a new flag that identified select people as federal agents working undercover, which exempted them from searches. The program thinks you're infiltrating a Linux terrorist organization. It also thinks you were personally responsible for covertly destroying IBM's OS/2 marketing push.

MARK: WHAT???

PHIL: Don't worry! It's only in this program. It's not like we changed any official records.

ALICE: Hey, did you know that some organization called "Warp City" just called for an "Object Oriented Jihad" on Mark?

BARRY: Oh, that's right. We tested it on the live build first.

This doesn't mean that Tim is going to come here and start up his lunacy, does it? Please no!

I had a great laugh, btw. Thanks!

They don't seem to be around any more, actually. The url exists, but it says at the bottom "made with a mac." :D

(For those of you who are wondering, this is an inside joke back from the ancient OS/2 days...)

Boy are you out of touch!

Tim has renounced OS/2 and now spams .os2.advocacy and .os2.misc with Mac fanboy rants. Kind of reminds you of John Ominar's transformation. :-D

I guess I am...

Of course, I'm not sure how much traffic in c.o.o.a and c.o.o.m isn't (real) spam nowadays. When I got the hand-me-down Dell I have at home now, the eCS install kept trapping, and I didn't enjoy playing with the WPS enough to make the effort to make it work. So far as I'm concerned, the WPS is the only thing OS/2 still has to offer over Linux, or even WinXP, if you don't have legacy apps you want to hang onto.

But anyway, it's tons of fun to hear that Tim "eCS isn't real OS/2, you traitors!" M. isn't using the platform anymore!
