Express yourself!
Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)
So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

So by my calculations, you would need around 800GB of hard drives for Skip's 200,000 song playlist. So does he have one of those nice Xserve RAID systems?

He does now, Andy. For the first 150,000 or so songs, Skip was able to use the internal drives on his G4, which hold up to 720 GB of information, but once he started running out of room, it was time to expand.
Now, you may wonder, is Team Rockwood promoting Apple's stuff just because we like it, or is it because we have ulterior motives? Is it because we'd love for some Apple higher-up to waive our iTunes bill? Is it because we're hoping for a donation to the Rockwood cause of something like a Cinema Display? Well, duh.
But then, we shouldn't expect too much. After all, Steve Jobs can hardly afford to be that generous. He only makes one dollar per year.

Dear God...
Was that a spelling error in Friday/Saturday's strip ("the" instead of "they")!? Tsk tsk Brian. I mean, first it's late, and then you misspell things? You're falling apart. Heh, I'm just kidding. Thanks for updating Saturday.

Eek! Yes, it's true. We had a spelling error (since fixed, so looking for it will get you nowhere) in last week's strip. This is one of the hazards of having no real editor. Everything on the Rockwood site is untouched by outsider's hands. Of course, being touched by outsider's hands might be okay if those hands had touched fistfuls of cash.

Engineer's week is great, long live Engineer's week and the "Green beer" problems. Of course you do realise it's all "physicist envy" don't you?

Oh, Keith. To paraphrase The Simpsons, why must you turn our comic page into a house of flame wars? We're sure physicists think everyone envies them, just like we're sure engineers think they are the ones to be envied. To-may-to, to-mah-to...realise, realize... we could go on this way all day, but we'd rather not. As we've said before, the internet is full of idiots who will argue over every little thing. We like to think of Rockwood as having a calming effect. Or at least less disruptive.
