This post has little to do with anything, other than the fact that when I was a PC and used MS Word, I was a certified ‘Clippy Hater’. For those of you who remember him (the annoying paper clip who would show up to offer helpful advice), you will enjoy this post.
By the way, if you’ve not seen the Windows ad running on TV featuring a young woman named Lauren who is ‘not cool enough to be an Apple person’, it is rather good.

Of course it was spoofed here.
The funny thing is that today at Starbucks, I ran into a young woman named Lauren who was asking me about my Mac, and was quite interested.
I think she IS cool enough.

You wouldn’t want to hear hateful the things I thought – sometimes even said aloud – about Clippy in our pre-Mac days: just ask my husband, who reminds me occasionally of that “help” which I didn’t need or want.–ae

Very funny post. Clippy will go down one day. We will all take him down.
