Vulcan nerve pinch
(Or "three-finger salute", Vulcan death grip; 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 an Amiga this is done with Ctrl/Right Amiga/Left Amiga; on
{IBM PC}s and many {microcomputers} it is Ctrl/Alt/Del; on
{Suns}, L1-A; on some {Macintoshes}, it is -! Silicon Graphics users are obviously the most
dextrous however, as these machines use the five-finger
combination: Left Shift/Left Ctrl/Left Alt/Keypad Divide/F12.
Compare {quadruple bucky}.
