This probably applies more to the Mature population of this forum who were not raised with computers.

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Harold the computer guy, to come over. You know the type; thick glasses, unshaven, pocket protector full of pens, pencils and Sharpie markers.

Harold clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He 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?"

The computer guy 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 will figure it out."

So I wrote out.................... I D 10 T

I used to like Harold.



I won"t take credit for this one, as I received it from a friend over the internet.

Did better than my wife, I had to explain it to her, but she's from Texas,(Charlie) and one of the Mature crowd as well. :D :D

I had eight full time maintenance personel supporting our manufacturing division's PCs. All problems were logged and the resulting "fixes" were also logged. We averaged around 50% of the time that when the problem was fixed we didn't know what we did to fix it nor what the problem really was.......so in the problem colum we just wrote "quantum mechanics" and figured no one would ask, and we were right.

Every one wondered what it meant, but didn't want to be the first to ask. :rolleyes: :D

When I was in Avionics, my favorite answer was: PFM circuity acting up. (Pure ******** magic)

A couple more favorites of those of us "in the business":

I/O error = Idiot operator
