I picked this machine up it had been dumped outside a home just wanted some bits n pieces as spares.



Obvoiusly a smokers computer never been cleaned :doh: guess thats what killed it

this is the sort of thing that leads to over heating, then with this amount of dust comes moisture content causing rust condensation corrosion of copper and failure of motherboard and power supply

Old Harold




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 down . I D 1 0 T




I used to like Harold.
