"Today is the longest day of my life"
As we go through wave after interminable wave of technology burps, hisses and collapses -- e-mail is still flickering erratically -- I laughed out loud when I read this about "24" in The New Yorker over the weekend.
Serious as "24" is, it's a lot of fun, too; fans love to post body counts and implausibilities and share Jack talk online. There is also one element of high comedy in "24": the computers always work.
And they work faster than anything I've ever seen. CTU needs to promote its IT staff to field agent status.

Jack calls CTU to get a schematic of the bank where hostages are being held. He needs to rescue them and kill the terrorists, and he has just minutes to do it. *#$%! Edgar says. "My computer just crashed! Get me the help desk!"
The IT staff at CTU should be promoted to deity status.
