RIP: Larry Tesler, 74. The man invented Copy, Cut, and Paste!

[thewayne]

Larry was a Stanford graduate and in 1973 he was working for Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, also known as the birthplace of the modern graphic user interface and mouse. It was there that he was working with a group of people on a word processor called Gypsy that he developed those three very critical key combinations that I use daily.
