Not Microsoft’s Finest Hour

Clippy_4 Do you use Microsoft Word? If so you’ll probably remember the hideous “Clippy” who’d pop up to offer entirely unwanted, un-needed, chatty advice every time you tried to write anything .

This hideous creation must have been planted in Redmond by Steve Jobs. Or something. Anyway, “Clippy” is, mercifully, no more. All praise to James Fallows, the man responsible (at least partly) for killing the wee bugger off.
