{Sigh} Time to buy a new computer AND to let the technician coach Roger what “backing up the computer” really means.

BUY NEW COMPUTER TIME…!!!!

Jason Fox and ONLY JASON FOX gets to choose the Computer this time!!

That man has more hair than brain cells.

The punch line could also be “What do you do now?” about finding you information.

She knew it needed doing; she apparently knows how…why didn’t SHE do it?

Hope springs eternal…. Obviously, why else would she keep feeding her family the stuff she cooks, stay married to Roger, and not pretend she doesn’t have any of the three kids.

Good thing he ‘backed-it-up’. Now that it’s ‘crashed’, he’ll be able to ‘recover’ all his data when the computer is repaired or replaced.

How will Jason survive without a computer? Will they have to put him on life support? I can picture him lying in bed and instead of an IV running into his arm, there’s an Ethernet cable. (I know this is an old strip – probably no Ethernet at home.) Instead of a vital signs monitor, he’s hooked up to a dial-up modem mit der gerblinkin lights.

And yet another reason why Roger Fox should NEVER be allowed near a computer or a grill.

So he “backs” the computer right off the table. Wow. Jason’s gonna flip out!

Reminds me of the joke where the boss gives his secretary a floppy disk and says, “Make a copy of this.” A minute later the secretary returns and hands the boss a piece of paper with a picture of the floppy disk on it. The secretary used the COPY MACHINE! :D

I would hate to be the tech person with Roger, or a similar clueless customer, on the line.

At least the new computer might come with a decent mouse. That “hockey puck” design was a disaster!
