Computer: Lappy 486
Date: May 16, 2006

Page Title: Lappy 486
Strong Bad: {singing}A badaladoo, it's time for email, bra-doop-ba-dabadoo.
subject: ISPDear Strong Bad,
Since you answer emails, you must have some sort of internet, right? What kind of internet to you guys get in Strong Badia? Who runs it? Is it expensive?
Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world,
Gary, UK
{Strong Bad says "Not even close," very quickly after "Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world," and says "UK" as, "You 'kay?"}
Strong Bad: {typing} Yeah I'm fine, Gary. Calm down. Of course I've got the internet. How else could I download this awesome animated gif/gif of a cute breakdancing rodent.
{A progress bar pops up with a ding that says "11% Complete" with "Less than a fortnight remaining" below}
Strong Bad: WHAT??!! Eleven percent? I started downloading this thing like two days ago! Oh that's IT!! Hold on to your fat, sweaty D&D playing headsets, tech support. 'Cuz Strong Bad's about to Do-Sum-Bow-Dis!
{The camera rotates around the Lappy to a rear view as Strong Bad picks up the telephone. There is a phone ringing sound and the screen is split by a phone cord with Homestar Runner in the office on the left and Strong Bad on the right. Homestar wears a headset.}
Homestar Runner: Thank you for calling the internet, may I have your account number or identity theft, please?

Easter Eggs
- At the end of the email, click on the "O" in "Not Really Break Dancing" to see a collection of CDs in the shape of Homestar running played against a song similar to the one in Bug in Mouth Disease.
Fun Facts
Remarks
- looking at the back of the lappy, we see there is no internet cord plugged in, and it is doubtful the lappy has wireless connection.
Real World References
- One of Homestar's preprepared replies is "No, I am not in India". This is refering to the fact that many Tech Support calling centres are in India (Dell Computers, etc).
