I've only just realised that the Office Assistants have been removed from the last two versions of Office.
ReplyDeleteHow thin the line is between helpful and annoying.
To this day, I miss Scribble the Cat from Office 97. You can see her here:

Normally I don't assume that cats are female (and dogs are therefore male), but when you would save a document in a new folder, Scribble would animate the process by grabbing a Scribble-kitten from offscreen and gently lowering it into a folder.
Scribble was all right. I would run Scribble today if I could.
He is very cute. But being able to save my work promptly is probably better.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but you can turn it off if you want to. I miss the feature. It was fun.
