Bug & Slug Reloaded:
Tim has an interesting take on the whole Matrix deal in this morning’s strip.
“If anyone asks me if I think the matrix could be real, I just let them use my computer for about half-an-hour to try to download a couple of MP3 while simultaneously surfing the internet and running photoshop. That always seems to be enough to convince them of whethor or not I believe computers could ever take over the world.
All that musing led me to this conclusion: it’s too bad for Neo and the gang that the AI didn’t try running the matrix using ME [windows ME]. I can hear it now, ‘Agent Smith, we need to reboot the matrix… again.’”
Yeesh! Don’t remind me. One of my buddies in college had the brainwave of ‘upgrading’ to WinME. As the designated IT guy amongst my friends, I think I suffered more than he did, having to kick its memory leaking ass back into gear every time he called me up in the middle of the night with a paper due first thing the next day.
Bug & Slug is a fresh new comic strip from the very talented Tim Andress. Check it out.
