#5 How To Name Your Company

To close out our 3 part series, we go back to 1999 and talk to the internet's greatest monster: the man who invented Microsoft's Clippy (jk he's a really nice guy named Kevan Atteberry).

Katie and Ryan force Julia to read some erotic Clippy fanfic, but we need not speak of that.
