I was having trouble with my computer

    I was having trouble with my computer.

     

    So I called Joseph, the 14 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

     

    Joseph 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.”

     

    Joseph 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.
