Block is the computer Strong Bad uses to answer email from his Eastern European viewers, "across the pond." It has been seen only in the email "other days".

Fun Facts

  • The term "Block" is probably in reference to Poland (and most of Eastern Europe) being once part of the "Soviet Bloc".

  • The question mark (?) is much less wide than the other characters (letters and numbers and punctuation).
  • This computer does not have contrast buttons, unlike the Tandy 400 and the Compy 386.
