Manic Monday Public Service Announcement--Fear Your Home Computer!!

You kids and your new-fangled home computers and iPods and tablets and smart phones that you got for Christmas--you're going to be the death of human civilization!! And I can prove it!!

Let's jet back to 1989. For several issues, Reed Richards has been raving about how sweet his new home desktop computer, the Turino XL, is. This first is from Fantastic Four #326:


And he keeps on pitching it, until he sounds likes he's doing an infomercial (This is from FF #331):


Still, all is not well, as all of the Four Freedom Plaza's systems start to go haywire. As they try to take Franklin to the safe room, however...




See, Ultron apparently subscribes to the Count Alucard theory on "secret" identities...





Yeah, he just name-dropped Transfomers.



See?!? SEE?!?!? We're all doomed, unless you dispose of all of your technology immediately!! We can't ignore this dire plot from 1989!!! All of your electronics are just Trojan horses for Ultron!! Destroy them!! Dispose of them NOW!!!

Oh...wait. That was just a dream Reed was having? You mean the FF actually spent 4 issues in suspended animation, just dreaming??!! Grrrr...

Anyway, never mind about the great home computer threat. You're probably all safe. Probably...
