Interesting. The ease of cutting and pasting text in Linux makes me
miss it immediately if I have to use OS/X or (very occasionally)
Windows. One can get add-ons for both OS/X and Windows that allow you
to do the same with them, right? If I used either a lot, I would want
that. Why it's not standard is beyond me.
