Book Overview
User Friendly tells the story of Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working, and most neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world." Take three techs, two salespeople, a designer, two executives, a couple of administrative staff, mix in a mischievous Artificial Intelligence and a "dust puppy" born from the innards of a mega server, put them all together in a crowded little office, and you have the makings of one of the most off-beat, original, and funny comic strips to come along in years. User Friendly reads like Dilbert for the open-source community. Already in syndication in The National Post, one of Canada's leading national newspapers, and with a massive online following, it provides outsiders a lighthearted look at the world of the hard- core geek, and allows those who make their living dwelling in this world a chance to laugh at themselves.

I can't keep the book on my desk. Every IS person in the organization is borrowing, copying their favorites(sorry), and leaving "user friendly" messages on our customer computers. I have taken down my Dilberts in favor of Illiad's spot-on view of my world. When's the next one ?

Out of all the cartoon books I've bought in my life, this is the only one to ever top Calvin and Hobbes on my list of favorites.

The funniest damn book I've read in years! The humor is at such a high level and so sophisticated, it's absolutely brilliant. Get this book!

The User Friendly website is my first stop in the morning. I'm not human till I find out what's going on at Columbia Internet. If you're not already addicted, give it a shot, you won't be dissapointed.

Let me see... a funny, Microsoft bashing, Unix praising, Quake glorifying, Marketing hating, Star Wars fan, Lovecraft & Tolkien refering comic... What else is there to say ? Well, Dust Puppy is cute :-) Illiad is the best !
