Old Matt
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Matt the computer guy, to come over. Matt 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?"
Matt 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 Matt.
A friend emailed me this and I certainly can relate....... :-\

He replied, "It was an ID ten T error."
Maybe you already know this, but...
The technical name for the ID10T error is Organic Peripheral Failure, or OPF.
Unfortunately, its a very common problem.

ID-Ten-T Error
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
ID-Ten-T Error (also seen as ID10T and ID107) is a term often used by tech support operators and computer experts to describe a user error, a problem that is attributed to the user's ignorance instead of a software or hardware malfunction. It is a masked jab at the user: when ID-Ten-T is spelled out it becomes ID10T, l33tspeak for "idiot". (Though the usage actually predates 1337 as a part of geek culture.) It is also known as a "Ten-T error" or "ID:10T error".
Historical use (circa 1995) includes phone tech support personnel instructing the user/customer to place the line "id=10t" in their config.sys file.
A highly popularized example of this is a user mistaking their CD-ROM tray for a cupholder, or a user looking for the "any key". However, any variety of stupidity or ignorance induced problems can be described as ID10T errors.
[edit] Other uses
In Navy and Army slang, the term has a similar meaning to that describable above though it's pronounced differently:
The Navy pronounces ID10T as 'Eye-Dee-Ten-Tango'. [1]
The Army pronounces 1D10T as 'One Delta Ten Tango'. [2]
1D10T (pronounced "one dee ten tee") is also used in Army slang in reference to the massive amounts of paperwork involved in getting anything done, e.g., "this requires a one dee ten tee form".[citation needed]
