After a long and grueling battle with the evil technology gremlins, my computer Motoko has fallen. She served with distinction during her countless (because I can’t remember how many) years of service, with 490 comics and scores of extras to her credit. I only wish she could have held on to see the 500th Anniversary. I take comfort in knowing that Motoko will continue to exist in another form as I dismantle her and use her parts in Troops of Doom. Thanks to Cliff B. and Jason for the devious assistance.
