COMPUTER TROUBLE - % - 03-23-2010

old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to
come over..
John 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 to stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID
ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
John grinned. 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?''

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

I'm pleading complete ignorance there.. Never heard of it and wouldn't know it if it were printed on the front of a dump truck as it was about to run over me.
