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 shit.

There are variations on the theme...  EBKAC = Error Between Keyboard And Chair.

The squirt should get a healthy dose of "come uppance".  ;)

Sometimes I just hate this modern technology!!! And the "shorthand" that goes with it... it just confuses OLD people!!!  ;)
