Wikipedia Teaches Us So Much
Just found the following entry on Wiki for "PEBKAC".
PEBKAC is an acronym which stands for "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair".
Also used is PEBCAC, which stands for "Problem Exists Between Computer And Chair", or PBKAC, which stands for "Problem Between Keyboard And Chair". Sightings of PEBCAK ("Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard") have been reported. Another variation is PIBKAC ("Problem Is Between Keyboard And Chair").
It is most commonly used by experts to describe to one another that the problem was not in the computer but was instead caused by the user operating it.

Funny, it was my first time using wikipedia (cos' i peeped over my shoulder at the man sitting next to me reading about "100 search engines that changed the world"; wiki was one of them) this afternoon to search for an explaination for "conduit" used commonly in the financial world of securitisation. Could not get anything remotely close to what I was looking for and there are all these acronyms that seem so esoteric I am wondering how many people in this world would actually use them?
Or is it just me being ignorant?;)
