The ClipMate Trophy Case

Over its 16+ year lifetime, ClipMate has won numerous awards, been reviewed in dozens of magazines, included in books, and featured on radio broadcasts. These days, many awards have become meaningless. We know someone who put up a product page for software that wouldn't even run - on purpose! It was quickly awarded dozens of "5 star" ratings.

But there ARE good reviewers out there, and here are some things that actual people had to say about a program that they actually tried. Many of these people still use ClipMate in their daily lives, and we're grateful for the exposure.
