Do a funny little dance occasionally & make you wonder (if involved in
some complicated thing) if you really *are* doing it the easiest way &
that someone at MS has programmed it to do that when it knows you aren't
(but will refuse to reveal if questioned) 
'Tap' in the screen, light a bulb to indicate what a great idea you've
got, but actually leads you off on what eventually turns out to be a
totally irrelevant side track.
Mentioning the word 'fax' causes it to think I want to send one!
