Bonzi Buddy

Pros: None
Cons: A nuisance. A waste of time and drive space.

A few weeks ago, a friend attached the Bonzai program to an e-mail, suggesting I load it. I have spent the following days trying to figure out why my friend no longer likes me. What did I do to him to deserve this total waste of effort and hard drive...

Pros: Free, great speaking aspect, truly virtual
Cons: IT IS A SALESMAN!!!!

Hrm...Okay. Here's the deal. My sister called me one day and said, "Go to www.bonzibuddy.com and download this GREAT new pet parrot called Peedee! He is da bomb!" Well, what do you do when that happens?...You go to the site and get it.
...

Pros: nice start page, with search capabilities, and news, etc.
Cons: irritating, and everything costs money to upgrade

I guess I've only had Bonzi for a matter of a few months, so I haven't gotten sick of him yet. Mind you, I did find a way to turn him off, so the irritating factor doesn't really get to me...YET! Bonzi, a cute little purple ape that surfs around on a...

Pros: free for a limited time, a great pal to have on the computer.
Cons: can get annoying, but you can turn him off

Bonzi buddy is a cute little purple ape that talks to my family and me. He tells me jokes, reads my email, sings songs to me, and does so much more. Right now Bonzi is asleep, but he'll be up and about real soon. He doesn't follow your mouse or anything...

Pros: Programmed by a genius, the cutest, wittiest thing ever
Cons: Edgar Allen's Raven in disguise

I first met Bonzi Buddy about two weeks after I got my new computer and I was also a novice! I saw him advertised on AOL so I went to the website and downloaded the free software. Since I was so new at computers, I thought anything that went wrong was...

Pros: I never found out
Cons: Couldn't get it installed

First, I'd like to establish the fact that I have never used Bonzi Buddy. I must be the only person on the face of the planet that couldn't get this program to install.

A friend of mine told me about Bonzi Buddy, saying his daughter...

Pros: cute at first
Cons: gets old real fast!!

I really should be having my husband write this review because only he could tell you exactly how much I hate this thing.

My husband decided to install Bonzi Buddy because his dad said that it was really cute. Cute??? Ya Right!! This...

Pros: none
Cons: crappy programming, causes errors, annoying, hard to get rid of

At first I thought the Bonzi Buddy was cute. It is a small, purple monkey that stands around on your screen, occasionally offering a random joke or bit of trivia. He talks, and if you feel the need, you can make him say whatever you wish. His...

Pros: Very Cute! Makes me laugh sometimes Just when I needed to
Cons: He is constantly trying to sell you his other available programs

My Mother-in-Law called me. "Dawn, you have got to see this parrot that I downloaded from the internet. He's the cutest thing! He follows you around and talks to you and keeps track of your favorite stuff.....he even tells jokes! You should get...

Pros: Cute for kids
Cons: Everything Else

Despite the fact that I usually write long detailed opinions, there is just not much to say about the Bonzi Buddy, other than it stinks.

Bonzi Buddy is a file that you download onto your computer. From then on, every time you turn on your...

Pros: Small Purple Gorilla
Cons: Talk, Talks Talks

I was introduced to Bonzi, a small purple gorilla, by my girlfriend. She said that it was cute and funny. So I went home to download Bonzi. I should have know that anything that takes over an hour to download would not be worth all the...

Pros: Will entertain your grandmother for an hour.
Cons: After an hour, even SHE'LL hate him!!!

***********************Update**********************
Yes, it's true... due solely to my verbal wrecking-ball attack on that green feathered thing that DID once call itself Bonzi, the Bonzi folks have changed it to a big Grape Ape. Will I update my...

Pros: Funny, whacky, creative utility right on your desktop
Cons: Irritating at times

PURPLE APE: MY FRIEND

I had purchased a new home PC and INTERNET was the buzz word, so I took this new connection and developed this new addiction for surfing and mailing. I came across a banner that featured the photo of purple ape with...

Pros: Very entertaining, educational & helpful
Cons: Wish I could program him to sing my own songs and dialog permanently

I think the title says it all. I sit here all alone on my computer, while my husband watches the T.V. and I loose track of time because I get distracted by the search engines. I ask for "Dolls" it gives me porn.

At least when...

Pros: 5 minutes of cuteness
Cons: makes you dumber, can be costly

Even if I had kids I wouldn't let them keep this ape.

I downloaded (via Broadband), the purple monkey, just to see if it was amusing, or, as promised, helpful. It was neither. I have since figured out that 30-year-old males are not...
