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