...board, that is. :-P
OK, so I'm looking at the homepage and someone's having a problem with their A3000T not booting, but it's been solved. I was inspired to think about why "boot" is being used to describe a computer turning on. It's always been that way: boot this, boot that, wait 30 seconds before rebooting, etc.
Where'd that term come from? Is it from the old ENIAC days where when the machine didn't come on after a 3 week reprogram, they'd throw a boot at it to get it working? Much like how "bug" comes from there being creepy crawly bugs in one of those warehouse sized compu-matro-brainiatrix-alators causing the program not to work?
