Wizard of Woz? Caption contest

Sylvie Barak

What can I say about this month’s caption contest cartoon? Well, it’s simply magical!

After all, what kind of techie would you be if you did not occasionally make use of a wizard?

Whether this magical creature is being a help or a hindrance is up to you to decide, dear reader.

Let the war(lock) of the wits commence.
