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 ..
