From Tony Chabot
Gary Bucknell surely isn’t suggesting in his letter that a computer can simply be switched off and on again when its operating system crashes (30 March, p 29).
No computer expert would do such a thing; they would “power cycle” the device. Similarly, they would never wiggle a circuit board but “re-seat” it. If those techniques failed then “percussive reconfiguration” would be applied.
