Quoting from a marketing brochure: "In Nisus you have ten clipboards,
each of which is fully editable.  You can append text or graphics to
them; you can swap between them and you can swap what is on any one of
them with a selected text or graphic."

I've been a pleased user of Nisus.  (I also had the pleasure of meeting
one of the several hard-working employees of Nisus Software who, I
understand, doubles as the daughter of the company founder; she is a
conspicuously attractive woman.)
