Abstract
A portable, persistent clipboard is disclosed that enables the automatic storage of clipboard data in an “off-machine” storage area accessible to a user of one or more workstations. The off-machine storage area can comprise a floppy disk, CDR or CD-RW, a keychain memory device, or a web storage area accessible over the Internet. If desired, the format of the stored clipboard data can be transcoded to a different format prior to retrieval by a workstation.
