Eric the computer whiz - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

ChuckD · 10-23-2009, 04:56 AM

I was having trouble with my computer. 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 inquired, '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: I D 1 0 T

I used to like Eric, the little bastard.

Now that is too funny..

Perhaps he can come over and tell me the shortcut keystrokes to get my font size large again. I keep hitting the wrong combo of keys when I type and the font size on my screen is so tiny I can barely read it..

Some body posted it a while back when I did the same thing but I lost my note on how to fix it...

HELP!
