The Oatmeal is a constant source of amusement for me. I use his ‘TumBeast’ for the ‘404 – not found’ error pages on my company web site . He’s a big fan of Nikola Tesla , and enjoys using ridicule to make his point .
One of my favourite Oatmeal strips is about the agony of trying to fix computer problems: How to fix any computer . Having both experienced and attempted to fix many problems on Windows, Mac and Linux computers, I can confirm that he’s not exaggerating. Well, not much.
