    Clippy is gone but not forgotten

    Download Ribbon Hero 2 for Office 2010 - Clippy's Second Chance

    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
    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 does anyone remember them?



    EDIT:

    This is how Clippit was supposed to be?
