Thats weird...I was thinking about this this morning and thought Cyggy (for
Cygwin) may come accross as the name for a cigarette manufactuor. I do like
the Cyppy name tho ;-)

Gary, can you send me the original clippy image, go away M$ copyright
enforcers, so I can play with it in photoshop? I'm way to lazy to find it on
the net and it's one of those nights where I'm still working gone 3am(tm)...
:-)
