Who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL"?



Have
you ever thought of the person who invented "CTRL + ALT + DEL" key
combination? "David Bradley" -- He is the One who spent 1 minute and 23
seconds in writing the source code that rescues the world's PC users
for decades.
 
This
extraordinary IBM employee is retiring on Friday after a prolong
service of 29 years.  His formula forces obstinate computers to restart
when they no longer follow other commands. By 1980, Bradley was one of
12 people working to create the debut. The engineers knew they had to
design a simple way to restart the computer when it fails to respond
the user -- Bradley wrote the code to make it work.  
Bradley says. "I did a lot of other things than Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I'm famous for that one." His fame and success is achieved each
time a PC user fails. He commented his relationship with Bill gates by saying " I
may have invented it, but Bill gates made it famous by applying my
formula when ever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him
CRASHES, thus I win when ever he looses
".
