> Possibly Mr Tesler's most famous innovation, the cut and paste command, was reportedly based on the old method of editing in which people would physically cut portions of printed text and glue them elsewhere.
> The command was incorporated in Apple's software on the Lisa computer in 1983, and the original Macintosh that was released the following year.
Here is Larry's website. RIP.
