Yes, be a good drone and just click “I accept.”

Pam will not be available for the next month of strips. Longer if she tries to understand any of it.

If she thinks that’s long, she should imagine what it would be like if “terms and conditions” were printed at the bottom of a CVS receipt.

Dilbert didn’t read the UTAC for some Microsoft software and he wound up having to be a towel boy at Bill Gates’s mansion.

Section XII, item 4b) “If you ever use this software in a manner that could potentially lead to financial gain, WE OWN YOU!!!”

How about a 20 minute CAPTCHA test to prove you’re a human?

… a human who is good at tests. As any teacher will tell you, it is possible to fail ANY test, no matter how simple or straightforward.

Ha! Sounds right.

If it was software she DIDN’T need, it would have downloaded and installed itself.

Who reads those.

If they are in an orbiting space station, wouldn’t that be an "up"load?

Terms and Conditions: Mountains of eye glazing lawyer speak. Better to slog through them though, just to avoid Rumpelstiltskin clauses that can &^$%# you over later.

Boilerplate for a boiler which never blows.

On page 79….

Most “terms” I’ve read include something to the effect that “if any part of this is found to be unenforceable, the rest shall remain in effect”.

That’s the part where, by using the software, you give the Software Corporation ownership of all your children.

Also, any living Grandparents.
