The world's greatest key code writer is retiring
(Category:

That's right. This is the fellow that wrote the code for the three finger salute (that's 'ctrl-alt-del' for the helmet wearers). He's retiring after 28 1/2 years at IBM and will be teaching at NC State University. Fare thee well oh handler of computers and bring some of that humor to the classroom.
At a 20-year celebration for the IBM PC, Bradley was on a panel with Microsoft founder Bill Gates and other tech icons. The discussion turned to the keys."I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous," Bradley said.
Gates didn't laugh. The key combination also is used when software, such as Microsoft's Windows operating system, fails.
You can use it for more than Windows crashes? Wow, the things you learn.
