ID Ten T Error

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Jimmy, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Jimmy 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.’

Jimmy 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

Life Before Computers

Before Computers:

An application was for employment.

A program was a TV show.

A cursor used profanity.

A keyboard was a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age.

A CD was a bank account.

And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy You hoped nobody found out!

Compress was something you did to garbage not something you did to a file.

If you unzipped anything in public You’d be in jail for awhile!

Log on was adding wood to a fire.

Hard drive was a long trip on the road.

A mouse pad was where a mouse lived.

A backup happened to your toilet!

Cut you did with a pocket knife and Paste you did with glue.

A web was a spider’s home.

And a virus was the flue!

This is a fascinating video showing an Xbox being turned into a multi-operating system computer.

Being the geek that I am… I was memorized watching it!
