Customer Reviews

For computer geeks only, but in that niche excellent

You have to be a computer geek to understand the humor. If you are, and especially if you have a unix/linux background and/or have worked with internet or other computer support you will find this one of the most hysterical comics around.

Comic for Geeks

The characters fight to stay awake with the geek drink of choice, prepare for covert operations at Columbia Internet, obsess over Quake, and live in cramped quarters called cubicles. Apple, Microsoft, COMDEX, AOL, and other bigwigs are the subject of a few pokes. Even Clippy makes a guest appearance. This one like the other books is a history book of geeky events that occurred in recent years with a funny bone added. But, students, do not use this to study for that next history exam!Warning, serious sentence ahead. This book includes 9/11 tribute cartoons that have been drawn and handled with respect.If you're not familiar with User Friendly, go to its site (www.userfriendly.org) to get a taste of it and get to know Greg, Stef, Mike, and Dust Puppy, the UF mascot. The other editions available are User Friendly, Evil Geniuses in a Nutshell, and The Root of All Evil. Those whose companies have strict rules about Internet surfing can surf the book to get their UF fix. Don't get mad at users, read User Friendly.
