Few people know from where there is a combination of ...

This combination was first to implement David Bradley, one of the designers of IBM PC. True, first it looked like a Control-Alt-Escape, but he soon abandoned this combination as a consequence of the fact that it is easy to pressing the trigger ... Apparently he often dropped by keyboard or slapped her hands So Bradley had to choose a good option is now well-known - Ctrl-Alt-Del, because it is difficult to press with one hand (as was previously impossible on older keyboards and keypads 102).

But, like many other computer "pieces", this key combination became popular after the decision of Bill Gates. Microsoft "hooked" on a combination of their login systems, including login first NT systems. Many know the phrase Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to log on.

While Bradley and implement the Ctrl-Alt-Del to the ROM BIOS IBM machines, it is not quite the first who used this combination. The first time it was used in the Sphere 1 in 1975, in the first personal computer.

So ... the combination Ctrl-Alt-Del is still older many of us will
