zMan,

The "mainfame" is just to remind us that some people think that "sic

While I admire the effort, I feel compelled to point out:

   - The typo “mainfame” on p.5
   - The fact that the mainframe has NOTHING to do with solving the problem
   in the story
   - RBAC is not the opposite of “plain text” (!) authentication

IOW, the story is garbage. I also hate the artwork, but that might just be
me. Jack Kirby he ain’t.

My bet is the artist is a student who did it for free, so I give them a 
break.  And if he/she is anything like my kids (both do that kind of 
work), one of the characters in the comic looks like the artist :)
