I hadn’t used Windows XP in years. It’s easy to get nostalgic about how great Windows was back then. Then you load it up and try to search for a file and you’re greeted by a dog.
I miss the cat from Word 2000.
Open Office needs a cat, or a dog. At this point, I'd settle for a paperclip.
Great times, I remember trying to skin that dog image using some dark XML files back in the day!
How about the paperclip?
Let's just leave clipy out of this.
Perhaps a clever blind skinner could add an animated search avatar.
It's a bleaker computer world these days....all the fun dried up when we lost those annoying 'assistants'...
One for the office wall...
Yeah, I loved those little critters!
I haven't used XP since Vista came out... and still prefer not to, though I installed om an old AMD rig mid-last year for games that don't like Vista or beyond... eg: the Myst and Riven series. Hmmm, it has been a long time since I played anything, PC-wise, maybe I ought to get into playng games again.
As for the dog and 'Clippy', can't say that I miss 'em, though something more interesting than the circular 'busy/searching' cursor that appears onscreen in Win 7/8 wouldn't go astray. Even the stupid dog doing stupid shit would be more interesting than that... though it may spark a new generation of 'the dog ate my homework' excuses.
