Re:My Mom Liked Clippy
It could tell you answers to really basic things (How do I print a document?), but more advanced questions usually gave an amusing answer at best. Still, I agree with the GP Clippy could be useful for the complete novice.
The problem, if you ask me, was that the average PC was too slow at the time so the computer would almost freeze for several seconds and perhaps even swap parts of Office to disk. The frustration of this happening whenever "It looks like you're writing a letter" of course made most ppl hate the whole thing.
Oh that reminds me

Wizard guy fights with Toshiba - more interesting
The guy that did the wizard that probably doesn't exist has just come off a 53 day battle to get a 6 day old Toshiba laptop repaired/replaced. I strongly recommend reading the log. The guy's writing style is great fun - have a look at http://www.vaxer.net/~jeeves/

Big Business customer (dis)service
It takes a lot of persistence and determination to deal with a Big Business on customer service. It recently took me 7 weeks to get Toshiba to repair a new laptop. If this if this is an example of our 21st Century service economy, we're doomed.
