Ctrl + Alt + Delete = Mistake?

As the world's richest man, Bill Gates funds tons and tons of world betterment projects, because he obviously wants to do something positive with his billions and billions of dollars.



Lately, one of the most recent ones is that he wants to take a product that comes out of the process of a nuclear power plant, and then use that to make his own power plant.



Moving on, in a recent interview, he came out that the code: Ctrl + Alt + Delete, to like close programs and restart, was actually a mistake. Previously, David Bradley, an engineer that worked at IBM PC, claimed that he created Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but Bill Gates made it famous.



Bill Gates came out to retort the insult, saying that Ctrl + Alt + Delete was his original idea of stopping a program from making a fake log in an attempt to steal a password, and ultimately, quote:



Bottom line, nobody's above making mistakes, not even the world's richest man. Consequently, if Bill Gates can own up to his mistakes, then you should too.

Personally, I use the command: Ctrl + Alt + Delete, to bring up a login screen, or open up to a task manager. What other computer functions do you use it for? Leave your interesting and creative responses in the comments section down below. And while you're at it, hit the share button.
