    For all of those BRIGHT computer users in your neck of the woods..... I'd like to share a little anecdote that happened in the office the other day.

    Young Joanne, the editor of a small news publication, was having trouble with her computer. So she called Tim, the computer guy, over to her desk. Tim clicked a couple buttons and instantly solved the problem.

    As he was walking away, Joanne called after him, "So, what was wrong?" And he replied, "It was an ID ten T error." A puzzled expression came over Joanne's face. "An ID ten T error? What's that ... in case I need to fix it again??" He gave her a grin... ;-) ... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?" "No," replied Joanne. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out." Still puzzled, Joanne wrote "ID ten T Error" on a note paper:

    actually

    I was serious. :p

    ya see, I don't spend 8 hours in an office all day making fun of other people's computer misfortunes.

    I'd much rather drive down populated streets yelling profanities at random people than sit in a chair in a 5x5 cubical. :p

    I always thought I would hate working in a cube and be part of a flock - visions of Office Space dance thru my head. But now that I work where I work, I love it. I guess it's cuz of the company I work for and not the actual cube idea.

    I can see the cubicles from my office. heh heh heh.

    The ID 10 T error actually got a tech at Dell fired for telling it to a user who figured it out after they got off the phone.

    You guys will love this, one of the Techs here said he figured out what was wrong with this guys Windows 2000 machine, the system idle process was eating 99% of the cpu cycle and he couldn't get the service to end. (he was dead serious)

    Then this other guy was having problems with Speed/duplex on a users NIC (we where using cisco 5500 switches at the time which are very testy about the settings) we told him to set the card to 100/half duplex and he said "50?" (this guy has an MCSE, MCP +I, CCNA) really scary isn't it

    NCO = Never (going to be a) Comissioned Officer.

    The big difference between an NCO and a lower enlisted person is an NCO has dedicated themselves to the military and are E-5 or above. Oh they also have their own club.
