Publisher's description of M8 Free Clipboard
If you ever wished you could copy more than a single clip from one document before pasting to another, M8 Free Clipboard is for you. With M8 Free Clipboard you can copy up to 25 times, and unlike other multi clipboards, M8 Free Clipboard shows you a preview of each clip before you paste it. It can also be set to remain on top of your working program. M8 Free Clipboard handles all forms of clips including multi graphic Word clips. Version 12.02 is a bug fixing release.
Editor's review of M8 Free Clipboard

- "M8 Free Clipboard"
- Version reviewed: M8 Free Clipboard 12.02
Beneath this clipboard manager's deceptively drab exterior lies a smart set of clip-management tools. Rather than holding one clip at a time, as the Windows Clipboard does, M8 Multi Clipboard can hold up to 30.
If you want to save a particular clip, you can store up to 30 in a single group. From there, you can create up to 100 libraries, each holding 100 groups. The libraries, groups, and clips can be renamed for better organization, and it's easy to move or copy clips from one group to another.
The program's other notable features include built-in text and image editors. The crowded interface makes much more sense after a visit to the help file. We wouldn't recommend M8 Multi Clipboard to rank PC novices, but anyone looking for a powerful clip manager will appreciate the features in this especially generous 60-day trial.

Version: M8 Free Clipboard 12.02
Pros: I've been searching and haven't found anything better yet.
Cons: The single most important feature from my Mac clibpoard extender doesn't seem to be available at all on ANY PC extender. I'm guessing it's not possible to code that feature on Wintel PC's but it's a disappointment all the same.
For the record; the feature I'm looking for is the chance to press ctrl+c followed by a number (without releasing the ctrl key) then later ctrl+v then that number and have the correct numbered clipboard pasted. i.e. no need to have the extender come to the front at any time. So if anyone finds this functionality PC side pls let me know.

Version: M8 Free Clipboard 12.02
Pros: This is really a simple easy to use clipboard manager that I've used on several computers for several years.
Cons: After using this for a couple of months, it now randomly throws a pop-up on top of your work asking for you to upgrade to their Spartan product. For years this little gem was free, now there is a price!
Summary: I rarely take the time to add a review to any product I use. Unless you don't mind this application eventually taking over your desktop until you upgrade or uninstall; don't bother.

Version: M8 Free Clipboard 12.02
"The paid version is quite helpful."
Pros: The paid version (around $20) works well; it saves up to 25 items in the clipboard.
Cons: The "free" version quickly became hard to use, until I upgraded to the paid version (around $20). The paid version saves in *.bmp form as well as *.jpg; however, the *.jpg files are about three times as large as the ones that Snag-It creates.
Summary: The paid version is an easy way to save up to 25 items in the Windows clipboard.

Version: M8 Free Clipboard 12.02
"Very Useful... until the nag screens start appearing"
Pros: useful utility that can keep track of and display 25 items in clipboard: images, sounds, text, etcI Something like this should be incorporated intothe Windows OS. It is a handy time-saver.
Cons: When the nag screen begins to appear telling you to upgrade to Spartan Multi Clipboard, they are so frequent and block your work, that you WILL either upgrade or uninstall it. The minimum charge for upgrading to "25 clips" is $9.99
Summary: great product until the nag screens take over.
