Technical Issues with laptop

[McMouse]

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 Little Bustard

ID10T is a recognised IT acronym.
We also use PEBCAC errors: "Problem Exists Between Computer And Chair."

I've logged calls as PICNICS before too

Problem In Chair Not In Computer.
