User Error #ID10T
Error ID10T (A Leet spelling of "Idiot" Pronounced "AI-DEE-TEN-TEE") is a common error reflected in the IT world. It usually involves blaming computer manufactures or others for errors and conditions beyond the company's own control and is a simply nicer way to describe user error without demeaning them. Unless they understand the subtle reference.
What commonly causes this error can range from simply failing to turn the computer on or plugging it in, to deleting an important system file, and oftentimes due to downloading malware and viruses without knowledge of what comes in packaged downloads. (Smileys, Signatures, Email Backgrounds...etc.)
