What do you call turning your computer off and back on?

This morning's IM with Her Highness Uber:

me: ... and then i rebooted and got the blue screen of death

carrie: oh, the '80's called
carrie: they want the term reboot back
me: wtf am i supposed to call it?
carrie: restart like the rest of the world
me: people don't say reboot?
me: where have i been?
carrie: unless of course you're working on your commodore 128
me: mine's a commodore 64
carrie: well, then, reboot away

So, today's question is:
Do you say reboot, or restart?  (Please comment below)
