People don't seem to understand my "you can't cut and paste" thing.
"Unlike Windows, Mac OS X doesn't permit you to cut and paste files in order to prevent data loss.
If something bad were to happen -- hard drive crash, power failure, coffee spill, meteor strike -- after the "cut" but before the file was actually pasted, it would simply be gone, and Apple's engineers believe it's too big a risk for typical users to make.
The Unix "mv" command works if you really, really want to move files without manually deleting the original."
There you have it. You can't cut and paste things in certain dialog boxes.
