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
Macintoshes, it is <Cmd>-<Power switch> or <CMD>-<CTRL>-<POWER>!
Also called three-finger salute. Compare quadruple bucky.
