Happy Holidays from OK/Cancel

Happy holidays to you too!

The Gantt chart would be a lot better if it were coloured. Hmm … that’s the only thing I see. Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays!!

Santa should really upgrade the OS.. “general protection fault”!! gasp he’s running MS??? and isn’t that message been replaced starting from Win98?

What’s wrong in Santa’s workshop, from left to right (not including things previously mentioned):

• The elf carrying the box down the stairs is about the step on the banana peel
• The door with an ambiguous (in my opinion) handle is labelled with a “push” sign
• It is awfully hard to disambiguate the hands on the clock from the style lines
• The “Way in/Way back” sign is hard to interpret
• A sack is about to hit the elf who is loading the conveyor belt
• The conveyor belt is too high for the elf to safely load
• The “go” and “stop” buttons are not the conventional colours
• The “warning! attention! beware! etc!” Notice is a too small
• The elf swinging from the trapeeze is not wearing a safety harness

Love your work, Tom and Kevin!

maybe the screen under the stairs couldve been higher and thus more usable ?
the elf walking down the stairs cuold push his cap a little back up so his eyes could be more functional in the sitn ?
and i really cant fig what the guy on the trapeze is taking and from where to where?

I’m glad to see that the sack falling from the ceiling is correctly bar coded, so that when it crushes to death the elf below, people can say “That elf was crushed to death by a sack of X” for the correct value of X, without having to open the sack (although a bar code scanner would be favourite).

Of course, if Santa were more technically literate (viz. his choice of O.S.) and didn’t care about the privacy of his customers, then he’d be using RFID instead of bar codes anyway. (If the contents of the sack were individually tagged with RFIDs, people could say “That elf was crushed to death by a sack containing X, Y and Z” for the correct values of X, Y and Z without having to open the sack, AND the loss of X, Y and Z due to collision with an elf would be automatically rectified by the production of new ones!)

If anyone gets that mushroom they are definitely going to hit their head. Plus those plunger pipes look severe, though I’m not sure how it all works with a treadmill. Lastly, the clock has 16 hours on it.

The stairs also have no railing, which should be a must.
I don’t think its possible to push the go/stop buttons without a trapeeze or standing on the presumably moving conveyor belt.
All the elves are wearing loose clothing near moving machinary.
The higher conveyor belt itself should be lower, to account for the shorter height of the people removing items from it.
The lower conveyor belt should be higher, and probably roped off at that height to ensure visability.
The ‘Way Back’ door is too low, opens in a non standard manner, and is directly above a converyor belt, at the bottom of the stairs, and the door itself is directly in the path of the elf moving boxes from one conveyor belt to the other.
Mario (as in Mario and Luigi) isnt there to grab the mushroom to get big.

Stairs and leaping from conveyor belts remind me of the classic ZX Spectrum game Manic Miner. <nostalgia trip>Ahhhhhh</nostalgia trip>.

Also, what’s the wispy stuff across the picture? Cunning lighting effect or is one of the elves doing some extreme over-clocking behind the non-standard-handled door?
