As we South Africans 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 enquired,
“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…. Then I realized that little bastard just referred to me as an “idiot”
I used to like Eric, the little bastard….
