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!!!

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

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).

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...

Oh yes thank you god! I hated that damn paperclip sooooooo much.

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