[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1693602"] The reasoning behind not using command-x (cut) is pretty self-explanatory to me: 1. Windows people lose stuff ALL. THE. TIME by cutting a file and then SQUIRREL! or a pop-up notification or a distraction or something happens and they forget to paste before they cut/copy something else. Seen it SO many times when assisting Windows people, sometimes right there while I am watching them! People have no attention span these days. 2. As mentioned above, the clipboard can only hold one item at a time. Again, have ACTUALLY WATCHED Windows people "cut" several files in a row and then wonder what happened. *headdesk* 3. In both cases, the user was *furious* at ... THE COMPANY (Microsoft/Windows or whoever made their computer) ... NEVER themselves. To coin a phrase "Apple ain't got time for that!" [/QUOTE]
