* WalkingTechbane: Gabe has issues with computers, both in the comic and in real life. And ''only'' computers at that, as he can use consoles and cellphones with no problem. In ''Passions Howl'', the paperback collecting the comics of 2009, there's an ancedote from Tycho about how a computer Gabe ordered from one company had to be sent back three times, a different issue each time. Finally giving up, Gabe went to another, bigger company. ''This computer was also broken!''
