Yes, we really did get a new computer, and yes this is mostly the reason that this comic is several hours late. You never really realise just how much your computer does for you until you try to teach a brand new machine everything you want it to do.



Windows Vista is... "interesting", as mentioned in the comic above, there are many things about it that fail to impress. It comes with literally dozens of functions that both clutter the desktop and otherwise get in your way of the stuff you actually want to get to. It took a few hours just to cut the machine into something that even resembled a PC.



Once that was sorted away, it was minor compatability related problems that came to the forefront. As it turns out, Vista does not much care for anything that wasn't created in the last three years, and puts up a huge fight any time you try to force something "old" down its throat.



I'm hoping we've reached the point now that this new machine will start paying off for the time investment, but we'll just have to wait and see.



By the way, Fox, that doesn't look anything like your Mother.

She's not actually supposed to be my Mum... (not technically anyway), I'm pretty sure she reads this comic from time to time and I'd really hate to explain THAT one to her.



But she HAS given me overprotective grief from time to time...

-Fox

Wait a second, there's no sandwich shop anywhere nearby...

-Jalyss

...Fine, I found the sandwich on the ground.



I'm sure it was fine though, Mayonnaise keeps for a few hours unrefrigerated.

-Fox

I see, clearly your mother's paranoia is entirely unfounded, then.
