- As long as you soft-boot (I use my programmer's switch almost as much as
- the return key - OK, so I'm exaggerating a little), I don't think it's too
- hard on your machine. Mine has shown no ill effects of repeated reboots.

- I like to use TMON's reboot command (command-shift-control-B) because it
- unmounts the drives before rebooting which helps the machine come up a
- little faster. A blaring stereo also does wonders for time perceptions
- :-).

- Sorry, I didn't have info specific to testing inits...
