Bye, Bye, Doggie

I find it funny that most of those Microsoft “animated characters” do a sort of farewell salute when you disable them permanently.

I’m never quite sure why this would be found useful, given those who disable such a feature probably don’t feel too sympathetic to the creatures to start.  Why are these things forced so hard on us, anyway?

Regardless, making a puppy sad is not exactly an uplifting computer experience whether you’re sympathetic to the little guy or not.  I almost wanted to say, “Come back!  You can help me find that file.”

But Clippy… no… Clippy had it coming.
