I watched my ex-boss learn a lesson the hard way with cut and paste. We had worked weeks of overtime to deliver a project. It was about 6:00 P.M. on a Saturday night. We had just completed the project that was supposed to be delivered the day before. My boss cut the entire project (3D models and drawings) from our server and pasted them into the customer's FTP site.
The "cut" worked brilliantly, flawlessly, awesomely impressive. The "paste"....not so much. We retrieved everything off of the Friday night backup that was completed up to that point. What I had worked on all day Saturday to finish - I had to redo. It was all gone. I never worked another Saturday again, and they knew better than to even ask.
I have used only "copy" and "paste" since his little demonstration.
