In a previous article, "Hilton" said:
I was flying (on American) from LAX to SJC today on an EMR 140 RJ. We get
pushed back. After about 5 minutes, the captain says: "We need to reboot
the computer. The emergency lights will come on for about a minute. This
happens all the time. It's perfectly normal." He rebooted, fired up the
engines, and off we went.

I had no idea that a pre-taxi step was "Computer: REBOOT".

At that point I'd say "I'm not trusting my life to Windows", and get off
the plane.

Medication did wonders for me, Dave. Perhaps it could for you, if a
crowbar and half a pound of axle grease counts as medication.
