(Incidentally, prostate there’s a comic I saw a while back that I forgot to
bookmark and it’s evaded all Googling: Each panel consists of an
identical layout, with a (1) in the bottom-left corner and a (2) in the
bottom-right, and only the speech bubbles are different. It’s
fantastic. Any pointers would be gratefully received.)

of the screen, diagnosis feels a compulsion to sing “Shareef don’t like it!
(dung-a-nung, dunnng, dung-dung) LOCK the taskbar! LOCK the taskbar!”
