Rubbish.

|When we actually come through the front door,
|one of the first (annoying) things we are presented with
|is a graphic of the much-hated "clippy" character from...

Having never seen a useful image at this site, I have AdBlock'd all of them.
If it wasn't for the occasional empty image frame in someone's sig,
I wouldn't even be aware of the presence of images at this site at all.

|From MS Office !

I see "symbolism" is wasted on you.

|This annoying character (Clippy)

If a question appears here
and could just have easily been put in ANY of the OTHER forums,
it is obviously NOT a Windows 98 question and DOES NOT belong here.

...or perhaps you could describe how you install M$Office from a Windows 98 CD.

...and I'm pretty sure Clippy appears on M$Office on Macs.
Is THAT a Windows 98 annoyance?
Should Mac users start posting their M$Office questions here?
This can quickly get out of hand.

Questions about Microsoft Money, Microsoft Visio, and Microsoft Exchange Server
are OFF-TOPIC here.

Questions about **How to  do X** in Firefox under Windows 98 are OFF-TOPIC.

If you have a question about an app that did not load from the Windows Install CD,
take it to a forum/newsgroup that specializes in that app.
