Microsoft have made superstition their official policy. Just check out your Office versions ;)
Office 97 = 8
Office 2k = 9
Office 02 = 10
Office 03 = 11
Office 07 = 12
Office 10 = 14
:cool::eek:
Or perhaps version 13 was so bad they didn't dare release it???????????
:D
Darn. How did you happen to spot that 1?
Anyone else hear the thing about M$ bringing back that popup paper clip thing, but it's going to instead of annoy you but be a game type thing, were you have to do different things. "Mini- Game's" type thing.
looking for the article i read about it on will update this post with the linkage when i re-find it.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
"Clippit" has managed to escape from my Pentium I/II based rehabilitation centre in Cuba ??? :eek:
I don't know if I still have it, but I had a plugin for Office 97 that let you do things to him that even the Geneva Convention hadn't thought of..... OMG! that's years ago............I wonder if I can find it? :lildevil:
IIRC he was even more annoying if you had sound enabled?
Whilst I am in one of these nostalgic humours: I found my copy of office 4.3 the other day............about 30 some 3.5" floppies. Given that I have just bought Office 2010 Professional Plus, I think I must wheel out a box with 4.3 for comparison. :)

This because the entire game was overhauled, with Microsoft bringing an important ally back from the “office grave” Clippy.
Nice find Steve,
I think that they have changed his name though, as it used to be "Clippit". If I remember rightly, there were several of them that you could interchange?
Merlin (Wizard)
Einstein (Mad Professor)
Robo (Robot)
and a dog, cat, and I think a globe, although it might have been a football.
Anyways.....

I find it so refreshing to see that students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are taking full advantage of their educational opportunities :halo:
There are interactive parts, so left mouse click ;)

I seem to remember that back in the days of Office 97 there were a few plug-in or add ons, so you could have "different" characters :lildevil: does anyone remember them?
:)
EDIT:
This is how Clippit was supposed to be?

Don't load on a machine you don't own or control (legally).
They got rid of clippy because he was a little "Bent out of shape" ;)
Speaking of superstition, happy Friday the 13th!

I used to use something very similar when I worked at a Cingular Wireless call center, people would freak out, made me squirt whatever fluids I was drinking out my nose.
