Yes... and I always wondered myself: sometimes I hit the reset button 
when I really mean to switch off my computer (the 2 buttons being alike and 
next to each other).  In this case, is it better to let the computer reboot 
completely and then shut down OR just hit the power button while keeping 
the reset button pressed and then release them both at exactly the same time?
This kind of situation can really get to you, can't it?  I mean just the 
thought of doing something so wrong to your computer...
