Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a switch-box, wherein the switch-box comprises a control, the control to copy information to a network cut-and-paste data-structure from a first computing system selected via the switch-box from two or more computing systems coupled with the switch-box as a result of the control recognizing a first dedicated predetermined event, wherein the first computing system comprises a standard cut-and-copy buffer, wherein the execution of the first dedicated predetermined event causes the information to be associated with a user-id and to be copied to the network cut-and-paste data-structure and not to the standard cut-and-copy buffer of the first computing system, wherein the information associated with the user-id is copied from the network cut-and-paste data-structure to a second computing system of the two or more computing systems as a result of the control recognizing the execution of the second dedicated predetermined event, wherein the network cut-and-paste data structure comprises an array including a user-id data-field and an information-field and wherein associating the user-id with the copied information comprises copying the user-id to a user-id data-field for a specific one array entry and copying the information to a corresponding information data-field for the specific one array entry.
