Modern Commentary
I mean, theoretically Kimberly could've tried selling computers to the other people who live at the apartment building. Not Lola; if this was her idea, she had a computer already. Not the lounge guys. But maybe one of the other tenants who we never see.
I've mentioned the shortcomings of the comic's font before. Another of them is that it did not have a percentage sign. The one in this comic (and two comics before) was from Arial. A decade later, we edited the font to include this percentage symbol just because it was a real hassle switching between fonts.
I've been trying to find out if Blambot and Comicraft - where we get our fonts these days - were around and selling to consumers then. But the Spare Parts font - Blambot's Oh Crap - just wasn't the right choice for this comic.-

Edit: This is the new font. After I wrote this, I decided to switch things over, for the reasons above and more. - Terrence
