    I never use the Assistant for assistance, but I always have the Cat on because it's cute and it purrs and scratches my screen.

    The annoying thing about using Works instead (which I typically prefer) is that you have to be sure to save everything as rich text if you intend to transfer it to other computers. For example, for schoolwork. So I use word, and I also hate the paperclip/dog/whatever else it can change into. It makes me feel homicidal... but can one call a feeling homicidal if you only intend to murder a tiny program?

    If it was a sentient program, yes. But since it's just a little added feature, and it can be easily shut off, it's only like, a vehicular manslaughter charge in Illinois. You can get one of those for going 30 MPH over the speed limit over there.

    How do you shut it off? I don't see it, but whenever I copy things more than once the bastid shows up and drives me insane!

    I always thought the paperclip/dog/cat/whatever was kind of cute. Just freaked me out when it was Einstein. o.o Didn't like the Einstein.

    Right-click, hide, POOF! no more Paperclip. ^_^

    The power to right-click things makes me feel so... so damn right-clicky!
