I have just received this and in light of recent PC problems exerienced by forum members, thought it might cheer us all up!

 

Computer trouble!

 

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

old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to

come over.

 

Richard 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.'

 

Richard 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 beggar.

My son would do that.

[Valkyrie]

That was so mean!

[Chickvic]

[Egluntyne]

Very clever.

[kitbag]

I would have fallen for that!

[Scramble]

Would definitely fall for that

Once did for this:

 

Cows

About

Talking

Idiot

This

Got

I

Long

How

Look

 

Read the words out.

Say cows before every word.

Say cows after every word.

Say cows before and after every word

Read the words from the bottom up.

 

 

I was only 7 not that's really an excuse

[Chickvic]

I just did that and I'm 35 - no excuses then - I should have read all the insrtuctions first

[Valkyrie]

Oh I like the cows one. I'm going to do that with DD. It always takes about half an hour to sink in!

Must admit I started to, but I thought eh? then read the bit at the bottom.

Working in IT, I've come across the ID ten T joke before, and it's still useful.

 

The trick is to avoid using it just because the answer was obvious to you, but only when the person was being wilfully obtuse, which doesn't sound like the case here . However, in those situations, I tend to prefer putting the issue down to PEBKAC; Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

 

I've also heard that many hospital casualty departments have a similar way of summing up "user errors". Apparently, if you look at a patient's chart and see PFO, it stands for ""Ooops, word censored!"ed, Fell Over".

I like the PEBKAC as well.

My auntio works in a dentist and they put WIG on the top of some patients notes before the patient has to hand them in a reception.

I had a ID ten T moment yesterday .

 

I had to replug everything back into the back of my PC yesterday but just couldn't get the internet to work. I'd phoned Dell, VirginMedia and Linksys but gave up when they couldn't help. I then had another look round the back and discovered I'd plugged the cable into the wrong socket .

My brother's job is all to do with computers - when they were just starting out one of the courses was to source problems. They were divided into teams and each had to disable the computer - and that meant anything at all, no holds barred. Well his team found out the source of the problem very quickly, but he being a little toad, took out the fuse from the plug. The other team never spotted it. He is evil!
