I was having trouble with my computer. 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, "I think you'll figure it out."

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

I used to like Eric, the little creep.
