409.0. "Past Tense of Reboot" by MAGOO::PFC (What a concept!) Fri Sep 11 1987 13:23

    What's the past tense of the verb 'to reboot'. After I have done
    a reboot, do I say that I've rebooted my system (that sounds really
    weird)?  Or maybe 'rebot'?  Any other suggestions for something
    that sounds a little better?

    paste tense I've heard:  rebooted
    
    some options:
    
    cold-started the system
    reset the system
    rebutted the system
    ?

    How about "I performed a reboot of the system"?
    
    But seriously, since "boot" is actually short for "bootstrap",
    one would think that the past tense would be "booted" to go
    along with "bootstrapped".
