PEBKAC è un acronimo che significa "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair", ossia "Il problema sta fra tastiera e sedia". Questa frase viene utilizzata ironicamente in ambito informatico, specialmente dagli addetti del supporto tecnico, per indicare che un apparente malfunzionamento del software o dell'hardware è in realtà dovuto all'inesperienza dell'utente. Altre variazioni frequenti sono: * POBCAC ("Problem Occurs Between Computer and Chair") * PRBKAC ("Problem Resides Between Keyboard And Chair") * PIBKAC ("Problem Is Between Keyboard And Chair") * PEBCAC ("Problem Exists Between Chair and Computer") * PEBMAC ("Problem Exists Between Monitor And Chair") * PEBCAK ("Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard") * EBKAC ("Error Between Keyboard And Chair").
