A Fresh Start: Ctrl + Alt + Delete - Neatorama
One of the programmers’ pet peeves was that whenever the computer
encountered a coding glitch, they had to manually restart the entire
system. Turning the machine back on automatically initiated a series of
memory tests, which stole valuable time. “Some days, you’d be rebooting
every five minutes as you searched for the problem,” Bradley says. The
tedious tests made the coders want to pull their hair out.

So Bradley created a keyboard shortcut that triggered a system reset
without the memory tests. He never dreamed that the simple fix would make
him a programming hero, someone who’d someday be hounded to autograph
keyboards at conferences. And he didn’t foresee the command becoming such
an integral part of the user experience.
