A few weeks ago I got annoyed with the bloody paper clip that taps on the glass when it knows it has a better way of doing something,
Well I sent it off on a holiday and employed Rocky the Office Dog , He works ok but he snaps that damn collar everytime you save your work and he puts the floppy disc under it...gonna kill him for that...,
Well yesterday I was working on my 4X4 page and was stalled for a bit thinking what and how to do something and I could hear this noise comeing from my computer, It was Rocky standing in the corner of the screen with arms folded and tapping one foot with a look on the face as if saying..what is he doing ??, I though to myself ....you little mongrel, I felt like turning off the office assistant,
Doug

Doug - the whole world wanted to kill the programmer who coded Clippy.
So - you will have to wait in line.
(It is possibly the sole reason so many script kiddies changed to hacking as a serious occupation)
For those of us on the edge of sanity, we swapped to open-office.
No Dogs, Cats, fish, birds or other animal forms (eg B. Gates) - and is it free (open source.)

Hiya Keith
I don't really mind a bit of help at times , and the option is there to turn them off, one must give credit though ,Rocky and Clippy are very
well done, very clever the bugger who designed them.

My personal choice is for the Origami cat... probably just because I like pussys - of all kinds.
Then a mate convinced me to install Tweedy a talking parrot that sat in the corner of the screen and offered helpful & incisive comments but for Guys or Girls the best innane thing you can download is virtual Guy or Girl assistant. Get it here:
