      You can't help it now. That image is burned into your mind, and in the dark of the night you'll picture a small green Jedi master gyrating on Jabba the Hutt.

        How could you forget Microsoft Bob (not to be mistaken for the awesome one), Windows ME or Clippy?

          Just curious, based on Chris' rant. So, do you actually develop applications that have a ribbon bar, or do you use the old fashioned menu and toolbars? Do your customers demand that you create a UI with a ribbon so they feel like they are in the "modern" world? Marc

          1. find project. 2) add MS ribbon-like interface. 3) profit!

                    Yes, yes and yes. We are development whores, and will do anything for the clients money. This explains why gathering user requirements feels like lap dancing a fat, sweaty bloke.

                    I don't know if you are picturing yourself doing the dancing, or receiving the dancing... Either way, that is a very, very disturbing thought that will take a long time to remove from my brain again. The really scary part is that I find it a very apt description of the process.

                    I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                        Therapy. Lots of therapy. Alternatively, try consuming vast quantities of alcohol; I find that helps.

                          I actually installed ME on one machine for my kids to play on. It stayed on for a total of 3 hours after completing installation before I formatted the drive and reinstalled 98.
