MS Clipart online now makes you download, save, and retrieve the clips from your computer, (instead of copy/paste) so I've been looking for alternatives. [] Is a pretty good one. The license gives permission for teachers and students to use up to 50 pics per document. There are no pop up ads etc on this site, which is nice! I created a tiny.cc for it that even little kids can remember: http://tiny.cc/1234qwer
