Clipboard sharing IS possible after all..

I don't give up.. came across ClipboardSharing an old app but it works! And on the same page I heard of DropCopy, an updated app which puts a dropzone on desktop for file/object transfers and a circle in the menu bar where you can grab the remote's clipboard! So, two working solutions, no doubt put together by developers for their own benefit!

Copy & Paste solution

OK, I found a reasonable solution to this between AIR and iMac, which could be used by anyone wishing to copy an item and pick it up on the other machine.. use drop box! Everyone should have one set up with an alias on their desktop.

Cutting and pasting text can be done either through Google Notebook or Evernotes simply enough, though style might be a problem.

Thats it I've spent enough time on remote control, and am left with the local solution iChat as the easiest bet after all :)
