	<htmltext><p>I'm pretty sure people would hate Clippy just as much now. Microsoft and just about everyone else misdiagnosed the "Clippy Problem"--the problem wasn't the format (a little animated character) or what they were trying to do (wizards) it was that the software seemed to make its guesses about what you were doing completely at random and then inserted itself in the most annoying way possible. We wouldn't have minded an animated charater/wizard as long as it wasn't popping up like a Vibrant add shouting "I think you're typing a letter!

	<htmltext>Actually just one year too early. As was usual then, and probably still now (I stay regressively in Office vX) the year after the release of Win the Mac version of the latest Office release came with a Mac version of clippie in Excel.


That little ol' Mac 128 with legs can still raise a smile if I leave it out to play. I'll never forget the first time it sat down, bored with entertaining itself by turning into a Rubic's Cube and solving itself, and nodded off, 'head' in lap, being totally ignored - until the sudden loud noise of something being dropped cause work to stop and my confused look around, to eventual discover the little Mac flat on it's back on screen, fast asleep. ROFL squared.


Done with great humour, and very responsive to your style of work as to what it things it got up to. But then, I guess I'm officially an ancient these days.


Someone did knew how to code in that dept. And yes, 'he' would offer contextual help, albeit not always of any great use.

p.s. sorry about the blob of text - it's so long since I've done one, that I've forgotten how to do a hard return on the Mac keyboard.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I think the problem with Clippy was that he was ten years too early. If the little fellow was around today he wouldn't get nearly as much abuse. People are more used to the wizard idea now, and to being guided through tasks.<br> <br>

Back then the average user was (I suspect) more technically knowledgeable - the PC as appliance wasn't entrenched. So everybody felt a little insulted when Clippy stuck his nose in their work.<br> <br>

So yes, my mom liked Clippy. If you actually needed his help he was reasonably helpful.</htmltext>
