Microsoft Bob simplifies home management by bringing everything together in one place.

Bob makes managing your household easy because the eight programs are linked:

Entries from the Address book can be added to your letters automatically

Your Calendar and To Do list remind you of tasks from your Household Manager, due dates from your Checkbook, or birthdays from your Address Book

Plus, you can choose from over 10 Friends of Bob who will assist you when and where you need it they?ll even learn how you like to work so they won?t bother you with help you don?t need

Bob gives you a centralized place for home management.

Heh... yep I actually had a copy of that piece of crap. It was for Windows 3.1 (I think?) and was meant to idiot-proof the OS and consolidate home-type tasks (I remember it had some sort of financial component). It was just awful. I remember deleting it after a day or so (no InstallShield back then!)

Microsoft Bob came on our P-133 Gateway that my parents bought back in 1996. My mom adored it, she kept all sorts of lists and whatnot in there. Then Bob corrupted her files which were conveniently in its own file format and she blamed me.

Burn in hell, Bob.

Do I remember it? Yeah, I still have it in its original shrinkwrap along with the premiere issue of Bob Magazine. I kid you not.

I'll sell it for $50.
