SENIORS & COMPUTERS...........
« on: October 06, 2012, 02:39:55 pm »

As we SilverSurfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers.
I had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him 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:

ID10T

I used to like Eric!!!!
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.

back in the days when I was a service engineer when customers did something wrong we called in and said:
"it's a UTS problem"....  ;D

people didn't know UTS meant ''User to Stupid"..... LOL

sometimes we said that the problem was between keyboard and the back of the chair  ;)
