Is it cold in here?:
Maybe the robots invited her out of respect. Or she's just crashing the party.
Kugai:
I wonder if they talk to Motoko Kusanagi as well

True, if you take PC in its most literal meaning of "Personal Computer". In the media and popular culture, however, PC usually is used to refer to a computer which runs Windows. So by that definition, an Apple computer is not a PC unless you make it run Windows, which until a few years ago wasn't possible without a large amount of hacking.
And even though OSX is based on Unix, saying that its comparable to any flavor of Linux isn't really fair, as the user friendliness (especially to non-techy people) and stability of OSX is unmatched by Linux or any other operating system I've tried (although Windows 7 comes close).

I envision a day where "Windows games" is no longer a usable term, but instead is regulated to the "Computer Game" instead. It would have to involve the courts forcing Microsoft to share its Direct X and prietary programming with other OS's so that any "Computer Game" can run on any "Computer." This would be unlike the situation now, where most games are on an inferior OS simply because it is the one with the most users.

And I envision a day where the stereotypical Linux users stop pushing their OS on everybody who uses Windows/OSX/BSD/BeOS and bashing Windows/OSX/BSD/BeOS through snide remarks like "inferior os" at every opportunity.
Linux works for you? That's fine, go ahead and use it. Windows works for us. Live and let live. Stop trying to 'convert' everyone who doesn't run the OS of your choosing; all that does is drive people away.
Jimor:
Is Hanners completely hiding behind Marten in panels 1 and 4 just to pop out in panel 3? The way it's drawn that makes more sense than her coming from off panel, heh.
