SENIORS & COMPUTERS

 

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers.

Yesterday, I had a problem, so I called Georgie, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.

 

Georgie 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.'

 

Georgie  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 Georgie, the little sh$$head.

I spent over 11 years teaching computing at a major TAFE college. Nearly every day a PC would breakdown in class and I'd have to move a student to a spare PC, then call our techie to come down and fix it. We had 'codes' for specific problems - most of our common problems were 'pebkac's - problem exists between keyboard and chair !!!
