640KB!! Wasn’t it Bill Gates who said no one will ever need more than 640K?

I’m typing this on my new laptop. It has 64 TERABYTES of main memory!!!

Kimmy later on went to invent the Rumba.

“Got all the parts from what Mom threw away in the basement.”

Wait, are these re-runs, Or are we in a time warp?

Brings back memories of my Apple 2…

I didn’t know Kimmy was an inventor.

My father started building Heathkit computers in 1978, so this is spot on. Yes, it was possible to build a computer at home from commercial kits in 1985, when this strip takes place. Early Heathkit computers had enough RAM to run a modern day vacuum cleaner—nice subtle joke there!

How is a old computer suppose to stop the zombie apocalypse?

Is that even possible?

What’s Kimmy doing in Alaskan duds indoors?

That’s really cool! He’s an inventor

I’ve been building my own gaming pcs since the early 90s, my first was DX2-66 based. The benefits of being a service tech for a company that built their own machines from scratch to lease out.

“You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.”

My current phone has two slots for 1Tb cards. I’ll probably fill that up in my lifetime with pictures.

I thought it was a wassail serving tank

that’s so cool! inventor kimmyyyyyy

Computer Chip and Dale.

Ha! Is that old relic the key to the Orc Craft antidote? Tune in tomorrow, same Crabby time, same Crabby channel…

Kevin is right. She’s amazing.

So someone said this strip takes place in the 1980s….How did I never see that?!? And is this video game they’re all hooked on something kids would’ve played at home in the 1980s? Like Pong? I assumed Orc Craft was just a stand-in for Minecraft.
