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. It has a screen and font similar to that of the Compy 386 and scrolling horizontal lines like the Tandy 400. The screen font is thick and utilitarian; however, the question mark is notably thin. This machine lacks contrast buttons or any other interactive feature common to Strong Bad's other personal computing systems.
The term "Block" is probably a reference to Poland (and most of Eastern Europe) once being part of the "Soviet Bloc".
