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 twerp.
