Quintessential Bob here, folks. Enjoy!

Yes, I tweaked the last panel with a different punchline (my first version, actually). It’s a webcomic – I can do that. :)

April 6, 2010 at 7:46 am“Quintessential Bob here” – what, you mean his technical skills arne’t quite at the level he thought they were? (No picture!)
Now, there’s irony, and then there’s irony!! :-)

April 7, 2010 at 1:31 amHey Krishna very entertaining strip today but I do have one concern. The last panel I am assuming they are talking boot times, but based on the order of ideas presented in the previous panel it gives me the feeling that they are talking about time spent together. Ways around this include putting a qualifier in Pam’s question ie. ‘Is that boot time in seconds or milliseconds’ or reordering the seconds, milliseconds and nanoseconds reverse to what they are now.
Cheers,

April 7, 2010 at 6:54 amI think the ambiguity was intentional and even if not, it adds to the humour immensely. :D

April 7, 2010 at 7:28 amhi Aaron – thanks for sharing your concern. I see where you’re coming from. I’ve tweaked Bob’s dialog in panel 3 to hopefully make it more clear.

April 7, 2010 at 3:46 pmPersonal opinion here, obviously, but I actually preferred the first punchline it was posted with. I don’t really feel like Bob’s expression in the fourth panel matches the obtuseness of what he says in the new punchline. The “nanosecond” line makes it sound like he’s totally oblivious to the sarcasm in Pam’s question, which as I said, doesn’t seem to match his expression.
Just a personal view, no offense intended. ^^;;

April 7, 2010 at 7:49 pmI have to tell you that I really appreciate how you make it clear that Pam (i.e. wife of a geek) knows what exactly what an SSD drive is. A little thing perhaps but appreciated none the less
