Fun fact: the newest generation (such as myself, a 23 year old programmer) were actually not even alive when Clippy existed. I only know of it from an Office reference. One day I will have something like that -- maybe MSN or internet explorer?





It's not quite that bad! The last version of Office released with Clippy was in May 2003! So you would have been born, if only just.

My old daughter loved the cat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykGIcXKAXbI Not everybody updates Office on the day the new version is released, so they continue living for a long time.

Yeah I was a tiny little two year old:) Definitely wasn't coding yet hahaha
