"Swivel Clip Copy Holder Mounts On Monitor-Swings Out Of Way"

Not everything useful has to be high tech. Or expensive. Or complex.

One recent purchase that I've come to enjoy is a simple clip holder on the side of the monitor, suitable for displaying documents that you'd like to refer to while typing. Or just simply good for holding anything-at-all that provides you inspiration.

Mine is made by Fellowes, and on Amazon it goes by the nondescript name, "Swivel Clip Copy Holder Mounts On Monitor-Swings Out Of Way."

At the moment, the monitor clip holds the essay Better, by Merlin Mann. (It's one of his best.)

What simple tools do others recommend?
