Sal traded me an 8500 and a huge (at the time) 18" monitor for it.  ;)

And yes, that "the" is my fault.  The primary reason for it was that it allowed any application's "clipboard" property to be used even when the scripting addition was installed.  Also, the addition's command name includes the "the " so that's why it's required.
