I struggle with Roman Numerals until I get to 159.

Then it just CLIX.

As we Silver Surfers (aka seniors ) 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 s***head.

We used to say the problem was between the keyboard and the seat.

You'd be amazed how hostile some people can be after that.

Owed Two A Spell Chequer
Eye halve a spelling chequer,
it came with my pea sea.

miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
and weight four it two say,
Weather eye am wrong oar write

As soon as a mist ache is maid,

And eye can put the error rite

Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased two no.
Its letter perfect awl the weigh,
my chequer tolled me sew.
