Glad to find I'm not alone when it comes to despising that stupid paper clip. It WINKS at you, for Pete's sake! If I'm frustrated trying to get something to work, the last thing I need is a smirking, winking, smart-assed paperclip!I used to sit in my office and tell the little bugger off. My boss would come in to see what was wrong. "It's that smug little animated b*stard." She eventually stopped worrying what I was upset about...probably started worrying about whether I owned any handguns...
