All these years, and I never realized that PEBKAC had an orientation.
In fact, PEBKAC is generally a matter of disorientation.  AFAIK, all the
things that appear between the keyboard and the chair also exist between
the chair and the keyboard.

BTW, Googling PEBKAC yields about 70,700 hits; PEBCAK about 18,700.
Wikipedia's entry also lists PICNIC ("Problem In Chair, Not In Computer)
and ID10T as alternative designations for the same issue.

Sorry, back to work...
