- But ConClip *was* a very good reason to use the clipboard, even years
- before its advent. Because you knew that the clipboard was the
- standard way of doing things, and that even though few things
- supported it back then, if ever a thing like ConClip (or Snap, or
- GNUEmacs, or ...) would appear, it would use the clipboard. That is
- one of the fundamental connepts of the Amiga: making your program work
- together with other programs that haven't even been thought of yet.
