When people say "log on" and "log off"

It's both. Think about the origins of the terminology and this is obvious.

A log book shows either who is IN a restricted access area or shows who is ON a restricted access resource. It's also a matter of perspective. Even when you log "on" to reserve something you have still logged "in" to the log book.

If I am online or on a terminal or on a restricted vehicle, then the act of placing myself in that log was logging "on" to that resource.

Technoramus terminology.

Their filthy hands are ON the keyboard, 'working', so, they view it as being ON the computer,.. ergo, they refer to it as logging on to the computer and logging off.

But if he tries to cram his tiny little peen into the USB slot, isn't he really "in" the machine then??

So maybe he is "logging in".
