It's back to Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working, and most
neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world," for our third installment
from the hit online comic, User Friendly. The cast: Quake-obsessed techies,
self-absorbed sales staff, well-meaning execs, and assorted almost-humans. The
background: too little office space, warring operating systems, and eternally
clueless customers.
Tag along as geeks go camping, Mike finds a new use for silly putty, and Stef
decides to beef up his Quake skills with the Acme Forced-Feedback Enemy-Denial
Smackdown Ergonomic Game Chair.
If you've read the first two User Friendly editions from O'Reilly,
you don't need an introduction to Greg, Jeff, Miranda, the Dust Puppy and the
others. But if you haven't, welcome to the world of the hard-core geek, where
humor--especially at one's own foibles--can be a survival skill. Since this
is true of most work environments, chances are you won't have to know Unix or
be able to log in as "root" in order to get the joke.
Illiad's community is truly global--the comic's one-million-plus readers log
on from Israel, Brazil, Iceland, New Zealand, and Greece, among other far-flung
locations. All kinds of people seem drawn to the strip-- from 8-year-old girls
to 81-year-old women--a large, diverse, and very loyal community.
