Lincoln Stein : "Who ever heard of holding a conversation
with someone so forgetful that you have to continually remind them who they're talking to by handing them back a slip of paper with your name written on it?"
NY Times : "The [ Microsoft ] Clippy campaign,
which will cost about $500,000, also includes a Web-site-based computer game in which irate users, many of whom have long found the paper clip program annoying to the point of distraction, will finally be able to retaliate by shooting virtual staples, tacks and rubber bands at the animated Clippy figure."
