We old folks sometimes have troubles with our computers & other electronic devices.
Yesterday I was having problems with my computer so I called Georgie, the 11 year old next door. The kid is a computer whiz... his bedroom looks like NASA Mission Control. I asked Georgie if he could get me back online. I don't know what I did but I couldn't see my emails anymore.
The kid clicked a couple of keys & had my email back up almost immediately. My problem was solved in less than a minute. The kid started to leave when I called after him, "What was wrong with my computer?"
He replied, "It was a ID ten T error."
I didn't want to appear too dumb, but nonetheless asked, "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?"
I sheepishly muttered, "Nope. It's a new one on me."
"Write it down," he says. "I think you'll figure it out."
So I wrote it down: ID10T...
I used to like Georgie, the smart ass little turd.

I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.
