CTRL+ALT+DELETE
This short line of code was written by David Bradley when he was working for IBM, it was "just a five minutes job". He got tired of restarting his machine all the time, when he was working on the development of the PC, testing new softwares and pieces of hardware that would "hang up all the time". So he just invented a shortcut that would involve both hands, so you wouldn't type it by mistake just with one hand...
He made this famous quote: "I may be invented it, but i think Bill made it famous!"
Just watch Bill's face when Dave drops it...

FTIR multi-touch display how-to guide by Harry van der Veen
This is what Harry says about his guide:
My name is Harry van der Veen, callsign Gravano. I’m writing this FTIR multi-touch display how-to guide, because I want to make it easier for other people to build their own multi-touch display. My intensions are to make this guide understandable for people, in the age of approximately twelve to about seventy years. I would like to point out, that in this guide, I describe “a way” to build a multi-touch display. I’m not saying it’s THE way. There are numerous of ways to build screens, this is just one of them.
There’s nothing you should know about any difficult technologies. I’ll try to explain everything as simple and thorough as possible. Only thing you must be able to is, actually buy or own the materials and have some basic handyman’s work skills like drilling, sanding, sawing, polish. If have two left hands myself and even I succeeded, so you should be fine.
