    What is the problem with using the mouse?

    I guess because now everything has a touch interface

    How about because sysadmins dont use GUI’s just the command line 😉

    Yeah, I was thinking sysadmins just use command lines, no GUI. xD

    This is stupid and not remotely funny.

      Jim I guess funny is in the eye of the reader. Maybe you are a mouse using, gui sys admin 😉

        No, I’m just not an idiot. I’ve been in the software business for 50 years, from the days of punch cards and plugboards. I use the best tool for the job. Even on Linux, that’s sometimes a mouse-driven UI (On Windows it usually is, even with the existence of PowerShell). And sys admins don’t just do sys admin. The notion that a sys admin would be fired for using a mouse is stupid. Of course you don’t mean it literally, but even as hyperbole it’s stupid.

          Jim sorry you don’t see it as the tongue in cheek it is meant to be. As i said funny is in the eye of the beholder. I thought it was very cute and not stupid at all. I didn’t call you an idiot either btw. So good luck and maybe you will like the next one RoelBob does

            What a moronic thing to say. Of course it’s “tongue in cheek” … it’s a cartoon. And I explicitly said “even as hyperbole”. Apparently you’re too stupid to understand what that means.

            ” I didn’t call you an idiot either btw. ”

            I didn’t say you did. Are you really so retarded that you can’t understand “No, I’m just not an idiot.”? That’s not a claim that you called me an idiot. Sheesh.

            If you don’t like the comic, that should be a completely orthogonal concept to the comic writer being an idiot. First of all good comedy is extremely hard to achieve, and i would applaud anyone for trying even if what they came up with wasn’t funny. Second of all i liked the comic, its a somewhat snarky response to the way sysadmins typically work.
