Regrettably, I think I found a use for clippy that's about on par. I started letting my preschooler play with Word with one of them visible. Later, I invested a whopping 12 or so hours to make a "game" that teaches the alphabet using the Agent control. That was my undoing. Now, whenever I open Word and I forgot to hide the assistant, my son (from the other side of the house, mind you) will run screaming from the other side of the house to play his game or type on Word. On the way, he usually racks up 1 or 2 cats, the dog, and at least one piece of furniture. When he gets to the computer, he finds me trying to get started on a report for school.
Him: "I want to play my game, daddy" Me: "Not right now. I've gotta do something for school" Him: "That's not fair." Me: "Sorry, bud, but I have to get this done." Him (Alternate 1): "You want a piece of me?" (Assumes Jet Lee pose) Him (Alternate 2): "I'm gonna pop a cap in your ass, daddy." (Thank his mother for that one...)
I for one have happily made the transition to OpenOffice because, well, it's just safer...
No joke. I upgraded from 98 to XP a couple of weeks ago (no sympathy please- I should have known better). All of a sudden my AV detected a virus infecting my system (mbr). Now I know why you're supposed to turn your AV off before you upgrade...
Wow! Finally! Audio has been one of my holdbacks from converting fully to Linux. The other one is getting Adobe to port Photoshop. I can't help but wonder how this would affect the RIAA? Making it less expensive for Indie labels to start up?
Slashdot Mirror
so that I can't download anything through the Kazaa port
Just one problem- Kazaa (or alt least K-Lite) can use port 80. Plan on surfing?

Man, I can't wait untill they come out with a wireless version. Makes you wonder what protocol they will use- 802.labotomy?
