As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers.
Yesterday, I had a problem, so I called Georgie, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over.
Georgie 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.’
Georgie 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 Georgie, the little shithead.
I’ve been called worse Paul. LOL!!!!
My son Charles learned from kindergarten how to use the computer. His is 13rtheen. Sometimes I run into problems , he assist with some mouthy remark. So I have to remind him he still has a few year’s before he can really put me down. “Magnum” 6’5″. 250 pounder. If he can’t man handle me by the time his 21 he is a SISSY.
I’d qualify. 🙄
I’m less than useless when it comes to computers, other than what I do here.
Me, too.
Yes guys, I’m about as worthless as teats on a boar when it comes to measuring my computer skills. Good post Paul!
LOL Good one, Paul. 😆
hey you guys. hope you all are doing well. gonna hit the sack. Nite, 😎
Hope you bagged one Henry. If not don’t forget plan B. 😎
Just think of how the Internet literate generation percieves Baby Boomers who still watch TV and believe the nonsense spewed from the faces of propaganda agents.
How many old goats will be remembered as the dumb ones in the family by their children and grandchildren?
Perhaps that thought will inspire brainwashed boomers to learn to access info on alternative news sources online, rather than the MSM.
not this old goat. I’ve been preaching the crap you read here for 25 years. my oldest just asked me about silver last week 🙂 looks like ONE might be pulling out of the snooze.
well oldbat, keep it up. I’m 70 and trying to wake a few up as well. some are beginning to open one eye. others are progressing as well.
I think the seniors were supposed to be warmed up to the computer world slowly by first learning to program the VCR, and since many of them never got a firm grasp on that task, they were never properly prepared for the full immersion into everything they do being computer controlled.
I only wanted a typewriter, but they don’t make them anymore, and that’s how I was thrown into this mess. Curiosity had me digging into the mechanics of the thing, which of course resulted in me breaking the thing, and having to find out how to fix it myself.
You still need the perspective of our years. My younger ones still drink the kool-aid. Ex. – when elections come around and bond proposals are on the ballot they still believe that when those bonds are sold all the money will go to the stated proposition. Dummies!
