    I don’t think I’ve ever expressed how much I love this comic strip. NC Winters, you bring some much needed humor to the trade, keep up the great work.

    According to the picture, I’m still in the Middle Ages :)
    Almost always I start my design work with pencil mockups. I belive that computer restricts creativity in the initial phase of the work.

    I use a very nice text editor (TextMate) along with a couple other very nice, although old (Emacs, Vim) ones, but there was a time when I learned HTML and CSS in Notepad and SimpleText.

    Thanks for the kind words, Damien. Nemesis- yes, intentional. I was planning on doing a whole couple weeks’ theme of “remember, back in the day?” technology evolution for many different industries.

    Hey N.C.,
    I really enjoy your comics, and I really really enjoy the style you create these in! The lack of gradients is a refreshing departure from the norm… and your use of halftone in the background is excellent :-)

    Keep up the good work, and keep up the humor! Like Damien said, you bring a bit of humor to an oft nerve-wracking trade(s) :-)

    Hehe, mine is a bit backward then. I was thinking about the all-improved voice recognition extension, hehehe.
