Have you ever wondered who has invented the “CTRL + ALT + DEL” key
Combination?

David Bradley

He is the one who spent 1 minute and 23 seconds writing the source code that has rescued and will continue to rescue PC users worldwide for decades.

This extraordinary IBM employee retired on Friday, January 14, 2005; after a prolonged 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 on the debut. The engineers knew they had to design a
simple way to restart the computer whenever it fails to respond to 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 on 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 loses.
