Here’s the sort of thing I do when I’m bored. I found a site that lets you generate authentic looking Windows error messages. It’s good for a bit of aimless fun and I used it to put together the following comic:

Still version
If you want to make your own error messages, go to the Atom Smasher website.
Some people have way too much time on their hands.. hmmm, I think I’ll get one of those..:)
Ha..ha..ha… You must be running Vista. 🙂 I know ever since I upgraded to Vista, it controls the horizontal, it controls the vertical and it controls every other damn thing on the computer.
Me – “Delete this file”
Vista – “This program is asking for access, do you wish to allow?”
Me – “Yes, please delete this file”
Vista – “Do you wish to delete this file?”
Me – “Yes…damn IT, I’ve said twice now, delete this file.”
Vista – “Are you sure you want to proceed?”
Me – “GOD DAMN IT!! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!”
Vista – “I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that…..”
Me – “Auuuugggghhhhhh!!!! ” (banging head against computer)
Vista – “Please stop doing that Dave”
Augh!!!
Michelle: I have FAR too much time on my hands
CinnKitty: OMG, I think you’ve stumbled upon the secret of 2001 – HAL was running an MS operating system!
Hilarious. No vista for me.
nice job – i am trying to teach my son the simple lesson that “software sucks”, and the best thing you can do about it is, “step away from the computer”
range: I don’t have Vista either – it seems that’s what these error messages make most people think of
tom: yeah, “software sucks” is a good summary
I Hate computers. That’s why I work in (supposedly) I.T…. (it’s a self sabotage thing, I’ve been told…)
I like the recent comic book halftones.
I like the really Angry tune.
I like really the error messages.
I like Vista!

gruntski: me too mate
goatsoup: I’ve been on “The Fizz” which screen on DirecTV in the states. Does that count?
