My grandmother loved clippy.

Melinda French Gates back when she was Melinda French had a part in Clippy.

“Melinda French (then the fiancée of Bill Gates) was the project manager of Microsoft Bob”

Microsoft Bob is where Clippy was born.

i don't know what you were actually supposed to do with it, but in real life i spent a lot of time building houses/forts so i did that in bob too. in a different era i'd've just done all that in minecraft.
