    Have you ever thought of the person who made the "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 retired on Friday, 25th March 2005 after a prolong service of 29 years. His formula forces obstinate computers to restart when they no longer follow other commands. The engineers knew they had to design a simple way to restart the computer when it fails to respond to the user. Bradley wrote the code to make it work. This is what 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 CRASHES, thus I win when ever he looses..........."

          It is always "odd" what you get fame from, if you ever do. At the very least what of your creation continues, and what does not, into the future (which is a type of fame, like the ctrl-alt-del). The things that we are often proud of accomplishing, that we think, and some of our peers think was actually pretty decent are lost under the constant change of future marching on. And the oddities that make it through are often what we laugh at over a beer (or lemonade) with our friends. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                  Although he coded the combination that helps us countless times, he blew it BIG TIME for himself and IBM. If he had received royalties of 1 p or 1 cent for each use of CTl ATL DEL I reckon he would be richer than His Royal Billness. I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)
