I've been using NT4.0 and W2K since about 1996. What does "reboot" mean?

I think that's like when the power goes out or something...

It means what you have to do when you patch your computer...

What does "reboot" mean?

"Booting" is an Australian form of corporal punishment, so "rebooting" is the act of dealing with recidivist offenders.

And remember, disparaging the boot is a bootable offense.

When will you Australians learn? In America we stopped using corporal punishment, and things have never been better! The streets are safe. Old people strut confidently through the darkest alleys. And the weak and nerdy are admired for their computer-programming abilities.
