Computer Error

    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, "and I think you'll figure it out."

    So I wrote down:--- I D 1 0 T

    I used to like Eric...
