Comic Transcript

ALAN: OK Guys... I've called this meeting because I have some good news.

ALAN: As you know, management ordered us to move all our Unix machines out and bring in all new Nifty Doorways servers. And, as you know, we didn't do this.

ALAN: Instead, we bought ONE Nifty Doorways machine and set it up in the middle of the server farm, unplugged and running useless but pretty software.

ALAN: That said, Management provided us with the budget to purchase about 100 very expensive Nifty Doorways licenses. And we need to spend that money.

JACK, PAUL, MARTIN, JOHNNY and STEVEN: Oooooo... New toys.

"Desperately Unfunny."
- Someone on Dean's World

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."
- Someone else on Dean's World

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"
- Someone on Reddit

"Why has this been running since 1996? Who actually reads it? Who is the idiot who reads it every day and posts the 'good' ones up on reddit? Doesn't he realize he is wasting his time?"
- Someone else on Reddit

"My god, my eyes are bleeding now. To think that there are comics out there which are worse than User Friendly is every way, when User Friendly was already pretty bottom-of-the-barrel in all departments!"
- Someone on Slashdot (With apologies to User Friendly, who got hit in the crossfire.)

"I'm burying this alive. Oh, look. Digg's comment window is jumping up and down in excitement. It's like it's nodding and agreeing with me. Yay."
