SENIORS & COMPUTERS...........

[NCC-1701]

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers.

I had a problem yesterday, so I called Georgie, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.

Georgie 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.'

Georgie 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:

ID10T :D:D

I've told people many times that their problem was just an I/O error. They nod sagely and are comforted by that explanation.

I/O = Idiot Operator.
