That
Does Not Compute!
These are ComputorEdge
classics are some
of the best in computer and Internet cartoons. This book along with
"That Does Not Compute, Too!" gives an
inside look at the absurdity of how we treat our computers and deal
with the Internet.
"That
Does Not Compute!" is collection of over 150 cartoons from ComputorEdge
Magazine by Jim Whiting and Jack Dunning about the trials and
tribulations of using computers and the Internet. Cartoons include
Death getting his identity stolen, nagging PDF files, the biker gang's
Web designer, eBay for dogs, Apple iPokes, user-unfriendly software,
and many more silly technological situations.
If you
need a quick
reference, all the cartoons are catalogued in an index at the back of
the book.
This
book represents over three years of brain straining and pencil breaking
in order to grind out one cartoon per week. Looking back at the
cartoons in this book, it is noted that some of them are really stupid
while some are quite clever. We'll leave it to the reader to figure out
which is which. If one of these frames makes you smile (or even groan),
then we have done our job. As of this digital printing we continue to
pump out one cartoon a week at ComputorEdge Online.

II: 'Do You Like Windows 8 or Would You Prefer an Apple?'"

As Jack
says, "A number of these cartoons are based upon deep philosophical
thoughts with profound life implications. Ignore them for now.
Eventually scholars will decipher the hidden meanings and publish those
answers in one of their journals—along with all the other nonsense they
put out."
