    A three finger salute is in order.

    David Bradley who wrote the code for the famous CtrlAltDelete is retiring after 28.5 years at IBM. Here.

    "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous," Bradley said.

    That combo had become so much part of my professional routine I hadn't even realized that it could have been someone's work.

    Thanks for making me less of an idiot.

    Isn't it ironic that MS chose that combo to log on to their Network OS's, too? Talk about opposites.

    So who invented the reset switch then?

    too true for Billy, but for David Bradley who wrote the code for the famous 3 finger key combinaton, CtrlAltDelete, a good three finger salute!

    closet thing I could find with a happy three-some combo.

    And your problem with Teletubbies is?







    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
