My 84 year old friend passed this along to me:

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Timmy, the 11

> come over.
> Timmy 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.'
> Timmy 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 the little s**t.

Reminds me of an incident at boot camp years ago. We were out for a march and the Company Commander pointed up to the sky and said "B One R D". Well, there was also a plane overhead, so we thought he was teaching us it's designation.

Needless to say, he had a good laugh when we realized he was just spelling the word "Bird". That was one of my "dufus" moments. :)

Thanks for that laugh!
 
i am 81 years old, and i must confess that i run out of intellectual agility to follow home computer developments. the problem is that pc s and i follow diverging time lines. what was evident to me earlier no more is, and my reaction is to loose patience and give up. this is one test to get rid of old people which we could propose to the wef and attali.
my last problem is ios17, which drives me nuts. i now stare out of the glass window and forget about my pad...
