+ | *The short says it is from 2001, but is listed as 2009 in the [[New Stuff]] menu. | ||
+ | *Although there were 40 "Tandy Era" emails, only 39<!-- with retirement --> emails were actually answered on the Tandy. [[the bird]] and [[weird dream]] were answered using Pom Pom's Pom-Pilot and The Cheat's computer, respectively. Strong Bad replaced Tandy with the [[Compy 386]] in [[invisibility]], the 41st email. Finally, Strong Bad answered one last email on the Tandy in [[retirement]] (in 2006). | ||
+ | *Aside from Homestar's voice, the voices in the toon do not match the voices each character had in 2001, but rather are the voices they had at the time this toon was released. | ||
+ | *The Athletic Berry Blast, Butt 1 Flavor, and Sizzlin' Bacon Guava Quench cans have no mention of being or containing Melonade on them. | ||
+ | *Though he's not seen with it, Homestar ''was'' mentioned to have [[Mountain Dew]] in [[techno]], before the March 2003 contract expired. | ||

+ | *In this email, Homestar has a lip-sync graphic for the [[Wikipedia:Voiceless labiodental fricative|'f' sound]], which his modern counterpart lacks. | ||

+ | *This toon conflicts with the continuity in the Sbemail [[candy product]]. In the Sbemail, Strong Bad is shown with the [[Tandy 400]] in the year 1999. But according to Hremail #7, Strong Bad got the Tandy in 2001. | ||
+ | :*Strong Bad was also seen with the Tandy in the email [[no loafing]], in the year [[1987]]. | ||
+ | *Strong Bad had trouble saying the word "e-mail" in Hremail #7 and seemed ignorant of the Internet. But in Sbemail [[looking old]], Strong Bad talked about "eStrong Vague Online Investments" that was sold in the late 1990's. | ||
