The one where the IT guy is explaining to Dilbert that he put in a new CPU and made other hardware modifications to his computer. Dilbert asks, "Will my computer work now?" "No, but if it did, it would be faster."

Paraphrasing, with apologies to Scott Adams: iboats guy: "We've changed the software, upgraded security and modified the user interface." User: "Will the site work now?" "No, but if it did, it would be more secure."

I remember that Dilbert, it is funny, that said, the site is getting better and better everyday, things are getting more stable and it seems they are making headway, go team.

Yeah, I should have thought of that analogy a couple of weeks ago :)

When that strip came out I was still working and showed it to our IT guy at work. He didn't think it was particularly funny.

In my retirement Minuteman, that is exactly what I am working in, IT and server management, I have a full corporate network system set up here in the house, so I am unique in that I can set up identical scenarios and figure out what is going on, believe me, it is getting better!
