Last week, I picked shadowClipboard as the PotW due to its ease of use and simple interface. The comments to that article pointed me to PTHPasteboard, another multiple clipboard utility. After using the two side by side quite a bit this past week, I must say that I clearly prefer PTHPasteboard (though that doesn't mean that shadowClipboard is a bad program; PTHPasteboard just matches my work style a bit better).
PTHPasteboard can track 20 objects (or more, if you use the Prefs to up the limit!), and does so with a small (resizable) floating window. When you click on one of the save locations, the data is immediately copied and pasted into the appliation that was active when PTHPasteboard was activated. In addition, you can easily create keyboard shortcuts for the first 10 buffer spots, as well as one with which to activate the buffer window. There are even four different menubar icons to pick from, in case you don't like the default.
After using PTHPasteboard for the last week or so, it's become an invaluable part of my toolkit, and has saved a bunch of time in copying and pasting work on the new site. Definitely worth the high praise it received in last week's comments!
