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 b  d  FORECAST FOR TONIGHT: things have happened out there!!!

Awwww thats not unusual in the computer industry, we get lots of PBKAC errors with our customers (Problem Between Keyboard and Chair))
It's really the 11 year old aspect that gets you, isn't it.
Don't feel so bad, it could be much worse.
Profesionally i employ a dozen or more software programmers, some older and some younger than me, some with experience and expertize in areas i only ever dabbled in at best. As the boss they expect me to have superiour knowledge and understanding in their parrticular field, and they always turn to me as the boss for answers to all their seemingly insurmountable technical problems.
Sometimes people skills and real world understanding are far more useful than any amount of technical skills.
Perhaps you should have enquired if Eric installed the KI 55 MY A55 driver to resolve the problem as the FUK UR A55 was not compatible with your particular OS. Not referring to (Operating System) in your case more (Out Side)

Probably not the best thing to say to an 11yr old  I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
