Ctrl-Alt-Del author is retiring

[DWW]

The man who developed the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence to reboot machines is retiring from IBM

I searched for "ctrl" and there were no other posts

But if there is, maybe this will have an added bonus: hilarious video of him claiming that while he invented it, Bill Gates (who is present in the video) made it popular.... Gates doesn't laugh at all (the room does).... funny stuff

Heh. I think we should all honor him with the ole three finger salute...

LMFAO!

Best post of the day.

BTW that video is not mine and it has a 15 second lapse at the start before the video begins

Well worth it to see Bill's hard stare at the guy

"I didn't know it was going to be a cultural icon," Bradley said. "I did a lot of other things than CtrlAltDelete, but I'm famous for that one."

"After having been the answer on final 'Jeopardy,' if I can be a clue in 'The New York Times' Sunday crossword puzzle, I will have met all my life's goals," Bradley said.
