Dana "Software Jedi" Hanna's App a Day experiment--now sadly concluded--has proven to be fertile ground for Download Squad fodder. Broadcast Clipboard is a perfect example. How many times have you wanted to copy a bunch of text from one computer to another across the room or on the other side of the building? Okay, well, I have enough times for the both of us. There are lots of ways to accomplish the task--e-mailing things to yourself is pretty standard--but all of them require a few clicks, when what you really want is to copy here, paste there. Broadcast Clipboard makes that possible. All you have to do is install it on each computer in question, and when you copy something on one of them, it will be broadcast across the network and inserted into the clipboard on all of the others for quick-and-easy pasting. Very cool. As with every App a Day program, Broadcast Clipboard is an open source app for Windows.Broadcast Clipboard: Copy here, paste across the office
