Often referred to as the Three Fingered Salute used on all windows systems. Originally designed for developers as a kind of Easter Egg to reboot the machine quickly whenever it hung up during development.
Quoted from the original designer:
Somewhat of a cultural icon.. (And even a web comic)
Made famous by Bill Gates' crappy software.

Get the ctrl alt delmug. A shitty comic filled with pointless vidya game references and way too much dialogue. Most of the art is copy-pasted from previous strips. It would be a lot funnier if the writer/artist didn't explain the goddamn PUNCHLINE on the fourth panel.

Get the Ctrl-Alt-Delmug. 1: A key combination in windows which allows you to end any task in progress. (provided that it's on your computer)
2: A webcomic featuring Penny Arcade ripoffs. Of course, the author won't admit it as "the setup is completely different".
3: A definition about to be deleted by bichty CAD fans.

Get the Ctrl+Alt+Delmug. A webcomic centered about an insane video game player named Ethan Macmanus. Most of the comic is generally centered around Ethan, but it also has a host of other characters including his best friend Lucas Davidowicz and his fiancee, Lilah Monroe.
They also have a mysterious roommate named Scott, his pet penguin named Ted, and a robot made from an Xbox named Ezekiel (Zeke for short).
The comic has a rapidly growing community, and its rise to fame has not gone un-noticed by even people who don't play video games.

In Ctrl Alt Del, Ethan approches Lilah with a pile of wrapped presents, only they've been wrapped with just one.
Ethan - Bask in my neverending genius!
Lilah - Holy crap! Who's this gigantic present for?
Ethan - Everyone! Instead of wrapping each present one by one, and wasting valuable gaming time, I wrapped everyone's presents together! Brilliant!
Lilah - But how will people know who gets which present?
Ethan - While, they'll simply... they'll... oh... hmm... I guess I should've made an instruction book. Or at least a helpful diagram...
Lilah - I'm sure in your head the logic was flawless, Sweetie.

Get the ctrl+alt+delmug. An excellent webcomic written and drawn by Tim Buckley. Consists of three main characters - Ethan, Lucas, and Lilah - who play computer games and get into wacky situations regularly. Also, there is the completely random Chef Brian who appears from time to time.
