If you are a 90's baby. you might remember Clippy from your old home computer.

Microsoft said it is considering beinging back the animated character in emoji form.

In a post on Twitter the tech giant said that shared a picture of the paperclip while offering to change the Microsoft 365 paperclip emoji with a Clippy emoji.

All they asked for was 20,000 likes on the photo and they would make the change.

According to Ladbible, some people are split down the middle with the emoji.

One Twitter user said:

"Bring the lil dude back in Windows 11 for real. Clippy should replace Cortana."

Another said:

"Clippy with updated AI on Windows 11 that has all the capabilities of Cortana plus more because CLIP DOMINANCE."

Microsoft product manager, Lisa Gurry said:

"Office XP is so easy to use that Clippy is no longer necessary, or useful.

"With new features like smart tags and Task Panes, Office XP enables people to get more out of the product than ever before. These new simplicity and ease-of-use improvements really make Clippy obsolete."
