Vulcan nerve pinch n. [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 many micros this is Ctrl-Alt-Del; on Suns,
L1-A; on some Macintoshes, it is <Cmd>-<Power switch>! Also called
{three-finger salute}. Compare {quadruple bucky}.
