When you give the three finger salute (ctrl+alt+delete) do you use the ctrl+alt on the left side of the space bar or the right?

I'm just curious...

right, so much more compact. I can't imagine using the southpaw ctrl and alt, feel so spread out and vulnerable :)

ctrl+alt with left and delete with right, I hate when programs lock up, and it seems to be happening a lot more frequently on my system.

Left side.

I knew there was an easier way than to go to that menu and then click Task Manager. :)

That's for task manager which has become synonymous with ctrl+alt+delete.

Back in the day, the three finger salute would reboot your computer, no questions asked :P

I was inspired to post this because I noticed that everybody I work with uses the ctrl+alt on the right side of the space bar. I thought righties were more common.

I figured I use my left hand because my dad is a lefty and he taught me that trick when I was about two.

Maybe I'm not the black sheep :P

i use left because my left hand is used to being by the wasd, which is the default position, and all i have to do is move it down a bit.
