User Friendly

User Friendly ( German: " user-friendly " ) is the name of a published daily webcomic by JD " Illiad " Frazer. It tells mainly everyday life of the fictional Internet Providers Internet Columbia and is aimed primarily at Geeks, under which it now has a large following. The comic is published daily since November 17, 1997. Since December 2009 he is in " Random Hiatus ", and consists mainly of repeats of old comic strips

The humor of the comic is technically oriented and is primarily designed as a serial story in each episode. But there are always also inserts that satirize current events / add comments (usually on Sundays ). The fan base, called UFies, discusses the daily strip in a private forum, is explained in the necessary Pointe and ensure a translation of the English text into different languages.

The comic appears quite clear for open source software, especially the Linux operating system and the figures make no secret of their dislike of Microsoft.
