Re: Copy and paste

Rob,

Isn't MS doing this with newer versions of Office?  Allowing you to copy
multiple items to the clipboard and paste them?  I can see this being
really valuable... for the 0.00000001% of the population that understands
it.  And now Lotus is doing this in the R6 client?  Glad to see they've
taken a bad program and made it worse.  I, for one, am really getting sick
of Notes.

Have you ever heard the term "copy and paste"?  You "copy" from one item
and you "paste" it into another.  Have you ever heard of the term "copy
and clipboard"?  No, of course not.  Even though MS has been beating this
dead horse since the dawn of Windows it has never taken off.  However
Lotus sees a failure and decides to go this route.   Previous versions of
Notes used a paste icon for pasting.  Now R6 uses a clipboard.  I don't
know how a clipboard ever got into the picture.  Even in the manual days
of Kindergarten when I actually used scissors and paste I never used a
clipboard.
