Hi all A friend sent me the following. Thought you guys might enjoy it. I was having trouble with my computer. So I called the computer guy, to come over. He clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem and gave me a bill for a minimum service call. 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?" "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out." So I wrote out ...... I D 1 0 T
And, to put that joke into the context of our next meeting: http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=19990211 doug waud said:
