‘Silver Surfers’ get their ‘racing fix’ online now

A reader writes, Dear AR1.com, I am over 60 years old and have been following racing since the late 1950s. I love having a computer and getting my racing fix everyday on AR1.com. 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 enquired,

'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,' said the 11 year old, 'and I think you'll figure it out.' So I wrote down:

ID10T

I used to like Eric, the little bastard. Dan Fisher, Detroit, MI.
