Summary: One of the best
Comment: This book is a must not only for the computer geek (meant lovingly, of course) but also for the families that have to deal with computer geeks like me. After going through the first few pages, everyone will be able to associate with the hysterical situaions that are placed before us: the incessant need to finish that computer game, talking with :) and :P instead of (horrors!) real words, how geeks pick up women, and other stereotypes (and also realities) of those of us who are enfatuated with computers.
Whereas Dilbert requires an understanding of corporate life to really understand the humor, User Friendly requires only someone who has to deal with people whose lives revolve around computers - at work AND at home.
If there's a computer geek in your life, you need this book - for yourself as well as your significant cyborg.

Summary: User Friendly RULE!!!
Comment: I accidenly stumbled upon Userfriendly from the LinuxPPC counter challenge to Microsoft. I didn't know what the site was all about. As I read the comics I found myself laughing and that made my day. I particularly like Stef VS Erwin comic strips. And I'm GLAD I found the site. Userfriendly is on my list beside Garfield, Dilbert, and Foxtrot. Buy the book!!! You won't regret it.

Summary: A Book For Those of Us Who Mystified the School Prog. Class
Comment: Have you ever wanted to read a comic strip in which the characters speak in programming code? Or where an artificial intelligence is uploaded to Mir to avoid the office-wige switch to Windows? Or where a man is tortured by having random code from his Linux kernel deleted? Or where an anthropomorphic ball of dust tells jokes and sings computer-oriented versions of Christmas carols and R&B hits? Or where a Califoria-born programmer inexplicably spaks in a Slavic accent? Vell sir, it vill be dune-ski. 'User Friendly' is like Dilbert. Only funny. And for geeks. Absolute brilliance. I cannot recommend this book more highly. Unless you're played multiplayer 'Quake II' for extended periods of time without sleep. Like weeks. Then, I can recommend this book and this series even more highly.
