      Wizards!

      1. Logo of Microsoft Publisher – The first software to feature wizards

      2. Wizard of Oz.

      I was about to connect the two when I saw the word “Clue” above the 2nd pic. Anyway, since I have done some thinking and mostly googling, this is a somewhat convoluted connect:

      The Wizards are based on the Wizard of Oz experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.....experiment), which itself is derived from “Wizard of Oz”, the book.
