microsoft assistants?

from WinCustomize Forums
because this site is devoted to customizing our computing experience, i'm wondering if anyone knows if, and where, i can find additional assistants for microsoft's programs, ie, outlook, word, etc.? clippy, or whatever his name is, is old, the cat is cute, but i'm bored again. i've found the agents, but prefer not to use them and instead would just like the simple little assistants. any ideas are appreciated. thanks much.

I just went to google and searched for "microsoft office assistants." Of the initial links listed on the first page, only one had an assistant which I had not seen. The "NerdBird" - available at http://www.nerdbird.dk/assistant/

Interestingly, on the second page of links, there is a link for creating new Office Assistants.

NOOOooooo!!! Office Assistants are EVIL and oxymoronic to boot!!

I'd be asking for MSOffice excorcists if I were you - for pity's sake!!!

hey, hey, hey...i was just asking. you can turn them off if you don't like them. i don't use them as i have turned off their controls, but i don't mind the little cat hanging around the screen now and then. looking at a monitor all day is not fun, so i prefer to have something different now and then. meow.
