She ended up calling the cops, heh, we did have Bonzibuddy very long after that...

No joke?

Hahahah, I love bonzi.

I remember back at one of my first computer jobs clients would bring in machines with the grape ape on there and it would run super slow and just be filled with all kinds of junk. I mean it would take 5 whole minutes to boot, and the little ape would pop up and say, wana hear a joke?

One of the guys I worked with really hated the little purple guy so much he would post pictures of him with a big red do not symbol over him and tell people never to install it.
