Bill Gates may not like it, but even in the the beginning of my personal computer acquisition days (early 80s), I was and continue to be thankful for it. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Much easier is:
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
This combination puts the task manager on top of anything running and does not clear the screen.

Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of it.

IIRC, the MSX machines had two ways of reboot.
One of those used to be pressing [SHIFT]+[CONTROL]+[SELECT],
I think...
But it could be blocked by code and the option would be to
turn it off and restart.
Interesting article.

We should incorporate the phrase "Do a Bradley" for computer work and perhaps for life as in Trump is not working out well for us we need to do a "Bradley."

Here's another one we don't use much anymore: C:/format\u\mbr
You could slove a lot of problems with it.

As one who worked on IBM PCs since 1985, I can assure you that Ctrl-ALt-Del was widely used long before the 90s & Windows.

Yes, indeed! Well known and essential.
