RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- David Bradley spent five minutes writing the computer code that has bailed out the world's PC users for decades.

The result was one of the most well-known key combinations around: Ctrl+Alt+Delete. It forces obstinate computers to restart when they will no longer follow other commands.

Bradley, 55, is getting a new start of his own. He's retiring Friday after 28

Neat Story!
I have never given it much thought about who wrote a code that is used by everyone who owns a computer.
Gotta love the statement directed to "Mr. Software"  ;D

Interesting stuff Jim, thanks for that. Oh and yes I did laugh out v.loud when I read the reference to Chairman Bill
