It brings back memories

The year I graduated from university was the year that the cognitive scientists and some newly self styled user interface experts spent the year attending conferences around the globe and writing learned journal papers on the Edit menu on the Mac. Thousands of words were written on what order Cut, Copy, Paste should appear and whether the actual actions really made sense. Given the ubiquity of the actions now it all seems rather funny - especially since I notice that I've still got to drag a CD onto the Trash Can to eject it on the new iMac with OSX.
