I’ve seen this exact post several times... I guess that’s a fitting tribute to Larry... RIP.

"It was the Lisa that popularized the now-familiar copy, paste and undo shortcuts. (That's control/command+ C to copy, V to paste and Z to undo)."

That's not true. CTRL-C and CTRL-V were how you copied and pasted in WordStar, an early DOS word processor. Many of its commands were adopted as standards.

I was friends with Larry. He was one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. He had a quiet presence, and was never condescending. I knew him from his Apple days when he headed up the Advance Technology Group and they were working on amazing technology. Unfortunately, like XEROX PARC not a lot of the developments ever became shipping products.

RIP

I followed Larry’s work over the course of many years. I may even have an decades old email from him somewhere collecting digital dust.

It’s been a long time, but I recall he was key in bringing discipline, design process and testing to Apple’s user interface work which first hit the marketplace with Lisa in 1983 and Macintosh a year later. He was a key player in the human-computer interaction culture that set them apart. The world at (some of) our fingertips is better for Larry’s long career.

RIP!
