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 it down: I D 1 0 T
I used to like Harold...

I must have had that conversation thousand times ;-)Speaking of shaking computers, the instructions for the ill-fated Apple III computer told users to lift their computer three feet off the ground and drop it if it didn't start properly, to reseat any loose chips.
I've worked on Apple IIIs and the ever ancient IBM XP and the archaic Apple IIe.....:-)

Sending some newbie on a hunt for an official ID-10-T form. Then someone would tell him he has to have a completed T-R-EE form to get one. And it would go on from there.Then other times forms wouldn't be so much fun. Newbies do learn after awhile, you know. So then you'd send them down to the motor pool to check out or become qualified to operate a flagpole truck (which is actually the gold ball that sits on top of a flagpole).
to the dishroom for a bucket of steam.

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.
