It has been 30 years, and I still miss some Xerox Ideas

You know, if Microsoft and Apple were going to steal from Xerox ViewPoint, they should have taken more.  I still find annoying things in Microsoft Word that were just easier in ViewPoint.
.
Take sentence selection.
.
Microsoft Word; 1 click = letter, 2 clicks = word, 3 clicks = paragraph
.
Xerox ViewPoint (Circa early 80s); 1 click = letter, 2 clicks = word, 3 clicks = sentence, 4 clicks = paragraph
.
When you are writing, moving just a sentence in Word is cumbersome and stupid.

Rant off....

Icons before Apple, Writing application before Word, Internet Mail before graphical World Wide Web (www)
And that printer icon (lower right, second row, 3rd from left) could be located anywhere in the world.

Just FYI, there is a little icon that looks like a PC and says "PC Emulator", that is how I got a Xerox job.  Steve hired me (thanks buddy) in order to test the ability to run PC programs in a little window on the machine with icons.  Yes, they wanted to be able to run PC-DOS programs because some customers didn't know how to use "icons".
