The Lighter Side (Jan 2011)

Sometimes we older folks have trouble with our computers.

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

Eddy 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."

Eddy 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 Eddy.
