Comic Transcript

CUSTOMER: I recently downloaded Ubersoft’s new security patch for Nifty Doorways 2001… and now my computer keeps locking up.

ALEX: That’s a natural byproduct of our patch.

ALEX: in a bold move designed to thrust Ubersoft into the forefront of secure computing, we’ve modified Nifty Doorways so that it will look for any computer activity that might be construed as a security threat and will shut it down immediately. You’re probably doing something that riggers this reaction.

CUSTOMER: All I’m trying to do is type a memo!

ALEX: Is it a memo about explosives or DVD algorithms?
