"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
28 January 2004A three-finger saluteDavid Bradley, the IBM tech who devised the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination for freeing up a frozen PC, is retiring after twenty-eight years with Big Blue. He is modest about his accomplishment: "I may have invented it, but Bill [Gates] made it famous." [Pause while Macintosh owners snicker.] (Muchas gracias: Eugene Volokh.) My favorite saying is, "Intel giveth. Microsoft taketh away."

Posted by: CGHill at 8:11 PM on 28 January 2004You may have noticed that Windows XP pretty much ruins the whole functionality of ctrl+alt+del. It does not stop processes running like the old, useful Windows version. It just opens up as if it is another program itself. Pretty much useless, actually. Posted by: dowingba at 11:15 PM on 28 January 2004Which may be one reason I still run W98SE on my desktop. :) Posted by: CGHill at 6:27 AM on 29 January 2004 |
