I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, 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.............
