* TheAllegedComputer: Strong Bad's computer takes multiple days to download a simple low-resolution GIF. His internet service operates in baud, a format so obsolete there are computer science graduates who have never heard of it. Strong Bad claims his standard rate is 1,200 baud, the equivalent of 1.2 kilobits per second. For reference, a standard broadband connection in 2006 would average 4 megabits, or 4,000 kilobits, per second.
