Computer trouble!
I was
having trouble with my computer. So I called
Richard, the 11-year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control,
and asked him to come over.
Richard 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.'
Richard 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: I D 1 0 T
I used to like
the little sod!
