| Well, I'm not sure what happens really, either. But since there's no way to shutdown the Mac OS X running on it, it's the only way. There's a key-combo to have it restart, but I'm not sure that reboots it gracefully, I think it basically is a reset-function that would do the same thing: Going down hard.
