Yes. "Reboot" is actually a more clear and correct term. In fact, "reboot" has now entered the vernacular and is used to reference things like cars, appliances, and even people. "Reset" is simply too ambiguous. > same as above. choosing more neutral terms :) "Shut down" is more neutral, not less, than "power off."
