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 it down : I D 1 0 T

I used to like the little bugger ..
