David Bradley is to retire this week after working 29 years with IBM.
Bradley's claim to fame is that he devised the most famous - and probably most used - three key combination in computer history: Ctrl-Alt-Del.
When the PC industry celebrated the PC's 20 year anniversary in 2001, Bradley came with the famous quote:
"I may have invented control-alt-delete, but Bill Gates made it really famous."
This comment brought boundless laughter from the PC loving crowd. Bill Gates did not even crack a smile.
