Henry Imler November 15th, 2008

Ever download comics? I sure do. They come in little CBR files you need to use a CBR reader to view (or you can just unzip them). The one I recommend is Comical. It is a nice little open source program that works wonderfully. Once you set it to “single page, zoom-width” view, use the arrow keys to scroll the screen and space and backspace to move forward and backward. For Mac, Linux, and Real Computers (Windows).

I like CDisplay. It has about the largest viewing area possible (only a small bar at the top), and you can easily navigate with the arrow keys and Page Down/Page Up.

I also enjoy comical, although I haven’t used it much since Sarah got her wisdom teeth pulled (during which I reread all the Ultimates stuff).

Oh, and I assume that by “Real Computers” you mean ones that attract viruses like syphilis to the red light district.

Kyle,

Thanks for the suggestion - I will have to try that one out. Comical crashes on my bro’s mac and on me when I try to open directories.

Scott,

By real, I meant usable ;)
