A little Humor for everyone today. I just received this from an email 'McKinney DNA Project' friend. It cracked me up. Being in my early 60's and having 'mostly' silver hair I fit the profile perfectly, especially since I destroyed one of my websites earlier this week and had to have Merchant Moms fix it for me. Here it goes:
As we "Silver Surfers" know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers. I had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Eric 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 asked, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
Eric 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 Eric, the little bastard.

89895That made me laugh out loud...had to spell it out, the abbreviation just wasn't enough!
40397That is funny, when I am asking for tech support and then figure out what the problem was I often tell them that it was an IO error (Idiot operator). Most tech heads know what that means.

I had not heard that IO one before. I think I will use that myself in the future.

I can see it is 'extra' appealing to you as you lost a webiste. Loosing a website sounds painful

Bev,
I love that 'little know it all' term. Perfect for the kids today. How nice it would be to be able to learn as fast as they do once again.
I do miss that. Flower for you.
