courtesy reboot

The courtesy reboot occurs when you are using your computer for a time-sensitive purpose, such as writing a report or making a presentation in a meeting. Without notice or even a BSOD, your screen blanks out and your computer reboots. On restart you frequently receive a cheery "update installed!" message, which makes your blood boil.

Presenter: Now let's take a look at the FY09 budget numbers, which we need submit in the next 20 minutes.

(Screen blanks out)

Attendee: Looks like you're going to have to wait for that courtesy reboot first, pal.

Hardcore Reboot

Turning a computer on and off about 10-20 times as fast as you can. Usually done when your computer does not start up normally and you are to angry to fix it in a calm and constructive manner. Too many sessions could result in permanent damage to a computer.

Windows 98 could not boot to the desktop, so I showed it who's boss. Now it won't even turn on.
