Computers

As we Silver Surfers 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 inquired, '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    

I used to like Eric, the little animal.
