Yes... some fond memories.

- Early additions of the assistant put two random phrases together and I remember seeing "try this today, don't run with scissors."

- I remember internally calling the "genius", a different name until we were told not to use that name anymore. I think there was some legal story behind that. :)

- Version two was about getting the assistant "out of the box" and more interactive.

- I still have my shirt that I got from Sam Hobson with "the usual suspects" with many of the Office assistant characters in police lineup picture. I wear it when I feel nostalgic.

- It feels sad for me that I helped put Clippy in and I helped to take him out.

There's a lesser known Easter egg using the Assistant, I can't remember which version. Type "whodunnit" to get a cast of characters behind Answer Wizard, and its myriad tools and processes.
