There has always been a degree of promotional fiction to the ‘nothing hidden’ story. The Macintosh brought us the now-ubiquitous Cut&#x2F;Copy&#x2F;Paste paradigm using an fragile invisible clipboard. (Fragile because Undo has never restored clipboard data lost to an accidental Cut or Copy.) The Xerox Star didn&#x27;t do it that way; it had Move and Copy <i>to an explicit destination</i>, with no hidden state.
