I was having problems with my computer so I
called Allan, the 11 y.o. kid next door whose
bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked
him to come over.

Allan clicked a few keys 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?"

"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 10 T.....

I used to like that little sh*t....
