Apparently the "preview" thing is pretty messed up.... I had written a nice, long thing about how reboot is to restart, and that during an OS installation it often reboots the computer during the course of it... Then I came up with a brilliant comparison of your statement, to people saying that a car engine they are cranking (you hear the rrr-rrrr-rrrr and it even sputters a bit like it's about to catch) "doesn't turn over". It's obviously a misunderstanding as to what the word "reboot" means, a misunderstanding on your part. However, thanks to the "preview" button, my reply will never be seen in its original, hard-hitting, edgy, in-your-face style. Sigh.
