If all has gone according to plan, I should be back to my home base in Mexico any day now. That means, of course, assured full internet access, and perhaps more timely posts. In the meantime, to keep everyone entertained, I’ve set up some post-dated items that have appeared “automatically” as I’ve been travelling. This is the final one of that series.
Well, here’s my final reference from my review of the 2007 archives at Jonathan’s Tool Bar and Grill. I’ve posted this series of Jonathan’s items of particular interest to writers because I find Jonathan’s discoveries and reviews to be clear, concise, well-illustrated — and helpful. Frankly, I think he’s one of the best software reviewers out there.
Today, I’m referring you to Jonathan’s post about “clipboards,” a computer function that writers probably use on an almost daily basis. Mostly, we use the clipboard only for a quick and temporary cut-and-paste operation [I used that function several times just in preparing this short post]. Unless you know the inner-workings of Microsoft Windows, the default clipboard holds only one item. Clip a second item and the first one disappears. However, there are numerous alternative clipboards that do so much more.
I’ve already written about several of them: see More Clipboard Alternatives, and Rough Draft, a free word processor which features four clipboards.
Jonathan’s post about clipboards identifies several more alternatives that look very interesting, ones that I previously did not know about. He even ranks them in order of his preference, which I find helpful. Mark Lautman also chips in with a review of clipboards for Linux.
