But at the time X wasn't ready for primetime so its all we had. I even had
custom icons. backgrounds and special keyboard-mapings for that stuff.
This was on Sun2 and Sun3 machines (which were very few in my college so

Vulcan nerve pinch n.

 [from the old "Star Trek" TV
   series via Commodore Amiga hackers] The keyboard combination that
   forces a soft-boot or jump to ROM monitor (on machines that support
   such a feature).  On many micros this is Ctrl-Alt-Del; on Suns,
   L1-A; on Macintoshes, it is &lt;Cmd&gt;-&lt;Power switch&gt; or
   &lt;CMD&gt;-&lt;CTRL&gt;-&lt;POWER&gt;!  Also called three-finger salute.
   Compare quadruple bucky.
