About a year and a half ago I had got to take a class

taught by David Bradley, one of the PC's origonal designers. His
famous quote was "I may have invented Ctrl-Alt-Del, but Microsoft made
it popular."
The best moment of the recent birthday celebration that Microsoft and
Intel hosted and (invited IBM to attend!) was when Dave Bradley, the only
representative from IBM on the panel, gave the same line, but instead of
"Microsoft" he said "Bill Gates" (who was right there). Apparently,
Bill
was none too amused, but the rest of the place was cracking up.
Touche, mofo.
