Instant buy if it was "Have you tried turning it on and off again" instead... D:
Wouldn't it be more geek to say reboot?
Instant buy for me and sent link to my coworkers. Work at an IT help desk.
Saw "IT" and was hoping for something from "The IT Crowd" and "Did you try turning it off and on again" would have been better.
@gwpriester: Maybe it's regional. Our Help Desk guys always asked if I've rebooted, but the new guy asks me to restart. I guess that's the IT equivalent of percussive maintenance.
We say Restart...
In for one, been looking for one of these for a while and $8 shipped is not going to be beat soon.
@gwpriester Restart can apply to all things technology, reboot is for things with boot loaders.
as most IT guys and gals know, that when the freakin coffee maker in the break room goes, they call you, because "ya know, it plugs in and has an LCD screen" and you cant reboot most coffee makers.
@cerwin8d: I might have to treat our Help Desk guys to a few t-shirts. (Maybe I could score some brownie points that way and get them to unblock some streaming music sites!)
Ha! Sent this to our Help Desk guys and their manager wrote back, "Yes, the magic word, reboot."
