Control-Alt-Delete on a Mac = Command-Option-Escape

Interestingly, my iBook runs stable enough that I have not yet needed to reboot the system due to a system freeze or any errors. That's impressive. Even my considerably newer Microsoft Windows-based PCs require what feels like frequent use of Control-Alt-Delete (Ctrl-Alt-Del), if not for a reboot, then at least to close some programs or processes that hang the system.

So if you were wondering, like I have been, the secret keyboard shortcut is Command-Option-Escape for Mac OS X.

This is similar to the old quest to find the Mac equivalent of Alt-Tab, which as I posted earlier, is Command-`. The Command key being the Apple character key. The "`" being right next to #1.
