I'm not sure about "PEBKAM (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Monitor)" - there's usually nothing between the keyboard and monitor, and certainly not the user. This one sounds like a mistake.

Definitely makes less sense, and certainly less common. But does exist: see this T-shirt pic. (;-) Robert Ullmann 14:23, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(I don't recall anyone using a T-shirt to attest a term before ...) Robert Ullmann 14:26, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, especially since it is a shirt on a site where anyone can design and sell shirts. Just because I make a shirt there that says "George Washington was never president!" doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to change their article on GW to say that some people believe he wasn't president. Looks like that shirt designer's computer is suffering from a PEBCAK issue. I surely wouldn't say it proves that the term is in use. Hastor 18:28, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
