I never even knew there was a person associated with it. Think of how much time and work my fingers were saved. Now he’s gone to that great clipboard in the sky.

Something wrong here. I had a wordstar printer in 1980. It had copy and paste commands. This fellow has a book in 2012 and gets credit?

He wrote about his work during the 60s-70s in a 2012 article.

I worked for Xerox in 1970.
We were told back then, “Soon we would NOT be in the copier business”.

Almost 40 years ago, Xerox gave Steve Jobs an unrestricted tour of their computer research facility in Palo Alto.
No one has ever figured out why they did that.
Xerox had solved every piece of the personal computer puzzle by that time.
Jobs saw everything, but the only thing he remembered was being completely mesmerized by the Xerox computer mouse.
In any event, a couple years later Jobs brought out the first Apple computer and Xerox disappeared as a competitor.
