a review by appleJAC Member, Tom Piper
Wouldn’t it be nice to have frequently-used information right at your fingertips as you need it? In most products that I create on my Mac, there are pictures, addresses, logos, phrases and other critical information that I use over and over, regardless of the software I’m using. In Mac OS 9, the Scrapbook was an indispensible tool to keep these things handy . . . in Mac OS X, I have successfully used iClip every day for over three years on my desktop and laptop computers at work and home. It is the right tool in the right place at the right time.
As shown on the iClip Preferences box below, all of my critical information is kept in individual “bins” which pop-out when needed on the left of my computer screen (this can be moved to the top, bottom or right, and can be either round or square bins in various sizes).
You can even adjust the amount of transparency and change other settings, like Hot Keys. In addition to having many bins in a set, you can also have different sets for different purposes, depending on the task at hand. There is a lot of flexibility in this tool, and its responsive to how I do things.
At a retail price of $29.00 US, this utility software is a real bargain. I’ve never had a problem with it, even when doing major system updates, like Mac OS X v.10.3 to 10.4. For a really nifty screen demo, go to their website to learn more for yourself.
