But they were calling tech support to get RID of it, never had to tell
these people it sucked, they already knew. They told ME it sucked, often
BLAMED me for putting it on their machine (well, they blamed the
company, and technically I guess they were right, we did preinstall
Office if the customer paid for it, and the default install had clippy
enabled).

Even if us nerds DID end up killing Clippy, that's a good thing, and
something I'd be VERY proud of. It sure caused us alot of headache from
ticked off users for a while.
