Gifts For A Geek

I remember the first time was used with me. It was actually by and end user explaining away her own error. “It was a PEBKAC.” she had said somewhat ruefully. Of course, I’d not heard of the phrase yet, so I asked her what the heck PEBKAC was. My end-user was suprised and then proceeded to tell me that it stands for Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. I had to smile. I now understood why she did want me to figure out what was wrong with the system. Since then, PEBKAC has become a part of my daily language. Anytime someone calls up for support or writes up a bug, my mind first wanders to whether the bug is really just a PEBKAC.

But you have to be careful. Not all end-users care to be told they are the reason for the bug. So if you hear a quiet conversation somewhere else talking about that repeated PEBKAC error, perhaps you should be wondering if they are really talking about you.

PEBKAC is the perfect gift for the computer geek, tech support or help desk professional. They will all smile and even laugh when they see this great computer geek t-shirt.

Take a peek at just three of the many t-shirts and gifts that the PEBKAC has to offer:
