This "annotated edition" has been... troublesome, so far.

Sorry about that, guys. I think I've well and truly got the bugs out now, but I appreciate it when you tell me that things are wrong. Yesterday's comic was briefly substituted with today's until Sun Tzu gave me the heads-up.

I decided to go ahead and restore the Y2K reference that was in the very first, print edition of this story. I updated it for the first Web viewing in 2000, for obvious reasons.

But this whole scene is so out of date by now it hardly matters any more. Babylon 5 still getting displays? Shadowrun? TETRIS? God. Today's Thack would be finding a god mode for Worlds of Warcraft. And he'd be engineering the Terrorist Internet Blackout of 2008.
