For over 10 years, UserFriendly.Org has been entertaining geeks of all stripeswith a daily dose of humor, social commentary, and occasionally absurd observationsabout the world of technology. Loyal User Friendly fans "Ufies" havebeen asking for a Big Book of User Friendly that assembles the first decade ofcomics almost 4,000 individual strips in a single volume. Manning has teamedup with the folks at UserFriendly.Org to create exactly that! The comics are presented in chronological order, so you not only see how UserFriendly changed over the years, but you also get UF's twisted timeline of the lastdecade in geekdom. Several custom indexes let you find strips based onstorylines, characters, and even the occasional UF song.
A big, thick, heavy tome, giving the first ten years of.... well, the clue is in the title.
There are a few typographical issues (cartoon duplicated, occasional comment aligned with wrong strip) - but these are rare.
The only real problem is that as it's in black and white, the colour strips can look odd. E.g. on p877, Sid changes from a white guy to an indian guy as we move from the daily strip to the sunday strip. Colour would have pushed the costs of this already expensive book far higher, so this is forgiveable.
I've followed this webcomic for years, and I really enjoy it. I understand almost all of the humor (some of the more obscure math humor goes over my head), and I can identify with most of the characters. If you have ever done technical support, been w web designer, or worked with computers and the internet at all, you will likely enjoy this one.
