Hmmm, I even didn't know it had a reset "button";-) In my case, it
just always runs and if I have to remove the power (e.g. to move it),
I just pull the power cord. 

I also do this with normal PC hardware as I don't like the power off
button semantics. Back in the days, PCs had a large power off switch
located near the back of the case (on/off = easy) but as soon as
"soft" buttons on the front panel appeared, things became more
difficult (you have to press the button several seconds etc.). I
either change the BIOS to disable the soft button and use the hard
button located on the back or just pull out the power cord or load apm
so that shutdown powers the machine down.
