Computer problems

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Harold the computer guy, to come over. Harold clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

He gave me a bill for a minimum service call. 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?"

Harold 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 Harold...... ......

And me! Good for all stroppy technology: When I was deep in my house rebuilding and everything was going wrong my old CD player followed suit. I was a bit stressed, so I took it outside into the garden and beat it to shreds. All the builders were watching, eyes and mouths wide (I might have been swearing a bit, too...)

Not only did the CD player learn a lesson it will never forget, but the builders were a lot less difficult afterwards. Well, for a while, anyway.:-6

Sledgehammer. No man should be without one.
