Control, Alt, Delete. Anybody who's...
Illustration
"Control, Alt, Delete." Anybody who's used an IBM--compatible computer ---- along with one of the Windows operating systems, or their ancestor, the DOS system ---- knows the meaning of those words. That arcane sequence of two words and a syllable stands for three keys on the computer keyboard: "Control," "Alt," and "Delete."
If, on an IBM--compatible keyboard, you should hold down all three of these keys, in that order, you begin an unstoppable process known as "rebooting" your computer. It's not an easy thing to initiate; you need to use two fingers on your left hand, and one on your right, and you need to hit those three keys in that precise order. It's not something you're likely to do accidentally.
There's a reason why it's so difficult. It's because rebooting your computer is a pretty drastic thing to do. If you're running programs at the time, you lose everything you haven't saved. It's very close to turning the blame thing off, and turning it back on again.
Sometimes, though, rebooting is the only thing to do. If your computer has developed some kind of glitch and gotten stuck ... if the program has frozen up and every other solution has failed to get it going again ... then rebooting is your last, best hope. Repentance is like that ...
