Forgot about the pooch helper! I am surprised Andrex didn't sue MS for stealing their Lab pup from the toilet roll adverts!

Back in the Windows XP days, I enjoyed the pretty colors and theme style over the basic garbage used on the previous OS's. Bubbly & colorful, put a smile on my face. I also enjoyed the dog over clippy, & clippy didn't last long before Microsoft axed em. The robot was stupid, nobody used it!
