RIP Clippy

Bwahahaha! UserFriendly bids adieu to Clippy, the Microsoft paperclip.

I always used the little cat myself; she's a lot less annoying, and she purrs.

Undead clippy? *whimpmers* I think I'm going to have nightmares!!!

I'm not surprised. There's something deeply disturbing about Clippy.

I assume you know the old suicide note help joke (http://www.vaxer.net/~jeeves/AssistedSuicide.gif).

Ahaha. I've always found Clippy too perky myself (I prefer the earth one).

Yeah, that clip's seriously irritating. I love the little cat, and I've only just realised it's the same one in a friend's icon that looked so frustratingly familiar:

LOL! AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhahahahhaaaahaha!:D:D:D:D:D Finally the smug little bastard is dead!

I always hated the helpers, but when I had to use one, I always had the Merlin wizard, he was nice and patient with me.

The cat (Links!) is cute and she makes cat-like noises and purrs. :-D When you close documents, she makes a goodbye noise and leaps off the screen. I keep her up for entertainment value.

At work, I was usually forced to have Clippy who made me want to put my fist through the screen, so I had to turn the bastard off.

There are times when I'm very glad that work used Lotus Smartsuite instead...

That thing seems designed to make people put their fists through their monitors and buy more hardware.
