Very, very sad day :( (Clipboard apps)
Ok, I think this is the saddest day in my life
Last week I was hit by a car that ran a red light and when I fell, I cracked the screen on my laptop. No broken bones, but one smashed laptop. But, that's not the sad part: the driver who struck me agreed to pay for a new laptop and the small bits on my motorcycle that were busted. So I got the new laptop today, Win7 naturally. And as I am loading on my old trusty apps... Cliptrakker does not appear to be compatible with Win7's 64-bit OS. Oh. My. God! What am I going to do without Cliptrakker? I've been using that since 1995, oh, oh, (choke). This is it, I think I have reached the point where computers are no longer part of my life. Does anyone have a really good clipboard app they can recommend? Man, oh, man.

Have you tried the snipping tool in Win7?
Not sure how you really use clip thing. |

Neal - I got nothing on the clip program - but if you explain what it does I might be able to find something.
More importantly - glad your not seriously hurt. I have been forced to lay em over more than once - and its never felt good.

No, no, it's okay... really... I jus' got somethin' in my eye. Reeeeeally would've preferred an opening phrase other than "last week I was hit by a car." Seriously, glad you're okay and got the laptop replaced. Still sucks to find that along with the fun of a new computer comes the realization that some old reliable personal favorite bit of software no longer works for you. Hope you can find something that makes for a nice replacement. |

Thanks. I'm still pretty sore, but I heal fast.
Yeah, some part of me dies every time technology leaves one of my legacy apps behind. Cliptrakker is a little app that runs in the notif area, and every time you Cntl-C copy something, it is saved on a little file. You can move some clips you want to keep onto another tab, and pull them up any time you need to paste a well-used bit of text, such as replying to users who email me asking to join the forum using gmail: Quote:
After a few hours of downloading one after another shareware progs and evaluating, I think I have a winner. And oddly enough, it's free. AccelClip

Glad to hear you're okay, Neal. How'd your bike fare?
