FINALLY, ERROR MESSAGES WE CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND


Old Harold

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Harold the computer guy, to come over. 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?'

Harold 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 Harold.

One guy I used to know who was a computer repair guy did most of his work on home Users' computers. Many times, the problem was a faulty DFO setting, and he'd even put that right on the work order. How he didn't get fired was a bloody miracle.

Ironically, the fact that nobody whose computer suffered a bad DFO figured it out proved that they really did have a bad DFO.

(For those who haven't caught on, DFO = Dumb Fucking Operator).
