| | Remote Clip: copy-and-paste between Palms, Windows, and Unix |
 | | A synchronized clipboard makes sense for a single user transferring data between computers on the same desk, but not between a computer at work and another at home. |
 | | When data is placed on one computer's clipboard, using the standard Cut or Copy command in any application, the copied data is effectively broadcast to all the other clipboards in the clipboard group, so that you can immediately paste it on any other machine using a standard Paste command. |
 | | For example, host A might have B and C in its clipboard group, and host B might have D and E (as well as A), and host E might connect back to A. Any clipboard operation on any of these hosts will be automatically propagated to all the others, without danger of infinite regression. |
