Ctrl-Alt-Delete Man, We Salute You!

[Otto]

On this, your last day on the job:

The man who spent five minutes writing the computer code that would bail out the world’s PC users for decades is retiring Friday.

David Bradley programmed one of the most well-known key combinations around: Ctrl-Alt-Delete. It forces obstinate computers to restart when they no longer follow other commands.

Bradley, 55, is leaving IBM Corp. after 28 1/2 years.

Good on you, David! May your retirement be prosperous and may you go many years before heading to the blue screen of death in the sky.

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

That’s frickin’ priceless.

Gates didn’t laugh.

That’s frickin’ typical.
