    I didn't even think about it being a possible april fools joke. (Forgot it even was april fools day). I mean this whole new v version has screwed up so many things and taken out so many things like no longer telling how many people downloaded your wallpapers and cards and losing all your guestbook comments and friends that when you throw in what I'm assuming now was an april fools joke its not a wonder some of us took it serious we never know what you're going to add. Before this new version we might have figured it out but now with this new version and just about anything goes so anything could have been real. The paper clip guy might not be a bad idea to let us know the latest happenings and give us possible valuable tips to help us with this new version. Just make it possible to have a variety of characters to chose from or turn it off if we chose and be able to move it. Otherwise it's not really a bad idea, joke or not.

    I'm not one for the paperclip. I find those little icons from microsoft annoying so I always make them go away everytime I enter using it. O_

    Is there going to be a way to turn the paperclip guy off? He annoyed the crap out of me when using Office. I don't really want to deal with him here? Sorry, but I just feel that I'm experienced enough with the internet to be able to get along without him. I know I came across a little harsh here.

    Hm, seem like not too many people like Mr. Paperclip. Perhaps if he was a more animeish looking type of thing?

    I'm neutral until I see it in action over a period of time, so I won't pass judgement.

    As long as the portfolio link works either way (cause I'd hate to have to chase down every site I've posted it on and change it), that's fine by me. Format of those don't mean a hill of bean to me, I'll work then whichever way they are.

    As for that backwards, unhelpful annoyance in the Microsoft Office Suite, I'll join the April Fool's joke camp on that one and hope you're not serious about it.

    I already see that the new way the URLs for our portfolios are in that way now, but I haven't seen the little dude telling you any tips yet. Reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where Sideshow Bob tried to kill them by blowing his up laptop which would then blow up some TNT and on the laptop they showed the little paperclip saying "looks like you're trying to blow up the computer, mind if I hug my kids?"
