Inventor of Ctrl-Alt-Delete combo retiring...

Control-Alt-DeleteI guess that I’d just like to thank David Bradley for creating a key-combination that I’ve used in my website’s tag-line for so long. I mean, how many other three-key combinations are as well-known as this one? (Excluding Command-Control-Power/Eject for us Mac guys, of course.) Sure, there are plenty of other three-key combinations (as well as a number of four-key combos), but Command+Alt+Delete is an icon.

Now, Mr. Bradley is retiring. Does this mean that I must retire my tag-line too? I hope not!

I wonder if anyone ever through to create one key that could have done the job of Control-Alt-Delete; or maybe just put them closer together. Questions that will probably never be answered.

Goodbye, Mr. Bradley.

(Thanks to Wheat for pointing this out.)
