I have a new Protocomic up this week, this time redubbing a classic Transformers comic...also guest-starring Spider-Man! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Yeah, or I prefer the way Dave likes to think of the scene...that they were using a computer MONITOR to send morse code frequencies. Nevermind that almost nobody knows morse code anymore, so a fat lot of good that would've done even if it were remotely possible. Unlike Dave, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume there was an actual computer involved in the process too, but given the way Hollywood always portrays how computers magically work (hacking always seems to involve flying around in William Gibson's Matrix after all), I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the monitor they were using. But in any event, yes, a magical operating system for sending morse code just popped up on the screen! How helpful!

So yeah, apparently any radios built after the 1970s were affected by the virus for NO LOGICAL REASON AT ALL, while those "archaic, ancient" radios weren't sophisticated enough to be uhh...connected to the network? Yeah, the radio network! That's it! Nevermind the fact that Dave pointed out that they were using their short wave radios to communicate with the guys in the fighter planes whose computer controlled radios MAY actually have been affected by the virus in some way (but probably not!).
