Senior on computer

[gmac]

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 enquired,


'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.

For the last 20 years I have been working some form of tech support on PC's and servers. I have lovingly assigned this code to many a user. The cause of most errors can be located between the keyboard and the back of the chair.

Good Joke

We like the phrase RTFM to solve stupid problems.
