Computer problems...

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called David, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

David 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."

David 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 that little boy.

Love it!

I'll have to remember that one!

Trouble is, it reminds me of.........me!

I'll remember that next time my step dad asks me to work out why his email pics don't show automatically.

When I have to save my mums laptop from all the add ons, spam and crap she inadvertently loads on it, I tell her it's an I D 10 T problem.

It scares me that i am now officially of the older generation. I used to feel like a god when i could write an entire page of HTML now its basic knowledge.
