This reminds me of one of our favorite cartoons from back in the days when I used to work in an academic computing lab. (Copyright says 2000, but I think it may actually be older than that.)
Laura, what’s really funny about that image is wondering how many people have tried to click the buttons.
writtenwrydd, go for it.
rashenbo, I think MS really blew it when they dumped Clippy and his friends from the Office interface. They should have opened up the API, and let users create new characters, with all-new dialogue.
Candy the Typing-Pool Slut would of course be popular with guys who think strip clubs are value-for-money entertainment, but I think I would have used Serge the French-Canadian Barista, or maybe Bosworth the Temperamental Butler.
“Oh, it does appear sir is attempting to write a letter. Would sir like me to format sir’s letter so sir does not appear to be a mindless, sausage-fingered Philistine?”
Clippy may make a return appearance in the weeks to come.

Wonderfull. Between keeping this blog up to date and generating cute little images I wonder where you get the time to write. Have you stopped writing?
Between blogging and trying to keep up with two university courses (I’m switching careers), I haven’t even started writing.

I’ve been lurking here a bit, and this site is really hilarious.
Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff.
