And MS Paint got laughed at for the best part of its lifecycle, and for good reasons too. But now that it's gone, everybody goes mad.

- WorldMaker 9y agoI poured one out when the Agents Framework was semi-silently removed in Windows 7. I spent many hours building things with that, including class presentations and stupid choose-your-own-adventure game websites with the basic text-to-speech options and the animations of Robby the Robot and Peedy the Parrot, et al. Clippy was a good idea implemented poorly and ahead of its time. Cortana/Siri/Alexa/Google Assistant is the new the Clippy, RIP Clippy.
