[Panel 1]
[Nils]
I am be-laptopped again!
[Jaakko]
Ah.
[Ginny]
That's nice.
[Nils]
No, no, you don't understand!
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
I stripped off all the
flashy graphical stuff that
was slowing down the old one.
Just a nice simple window
manager so that I can choose
which terminal to type into.
[Jaakko]
Of course you did.
[Ginny]
And naturally you're the first
person ever to think of this.
[Panel 3]
[Jaakko]
On mine I have no graphics
at all. Plain console mode. I
program much faster that way.
[Ginny]
Console? I'm working with a
teleprinter. I find it enhances
the purity of my code. Dropped
my bug rate by 80% or more.
[Nils]
Hah! Amateurs! I've got an old
punch-card reader in the loft. I'm
sure I can get that hooked up...
[Panel 4]
[Ginny]
Do you think we
should tell him we
weren't entirely serious?
[Jaakko]
Why would we
want to do that?
[Ginny]
You do realise he's going to
have to write a driver to make
that card reader talk to Linux?
[Jaakko]
Saves me from having to do it...
[Ginny]
Eep?
