Re: [silk] Which came first? Ctrl+Alt+Del OR Command+Option+Esc

ctrl alt del dates back to 81 as a soft reboot in MS DOS on IBM PCs.  Making it 
a login shortcut is from win NT much later in 1993

The command key was introduced in 1980 on the Apple III but option dates to 
1986 and the Apple IIgs

So ctrl alt del is the clear winner here

[silk] Which came first? Ctrl+Alt+Del OR Command+Option+Esc

I'm wondering if the Apple Command+Option+Escape key combination came to be
later than the equivalent Windows Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination or if they
were introduced around the same time.

Does anyone here know?
