Sometimes we have trouble with our computers...

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers...





I had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.



Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?



He replied, 'It was an �ID ten T� error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,



'An, �ID ten T� error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Eric grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?

'No,' I replied.



'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote down:





ID10T





I used to like Eric, the little bastard.
