PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair
Ever heard of an ID-ten-T problem [Id10T]? It's basically the same as the above. My friend works in a mac sales/repair shop, and he says that they use that all the time about calls they get. :D
That reminds me of something people used to say at my old workplace. Not computer-related at all, but it amused me. If there was a difficult customer or someone uncooperative from another office, people around me would start calling them a legend, but with a hard G, like leg-end. Eventually I had to ask why they did it, and my question was answered with a question.

"What do you mean when you say 'leg-end'?"

"Leg-end. What's at the end of a leg?"

"A foot?"

"The other end."

"Ahhh...an arsehole."

what exactly does THOOLAH stand for? I get the general idea and am pretty sure that the last 3 letters would be "Linden Avery Haters/Hate/Hatred" but I just can't seem to guess what the double O's are.

I believe it stands for The Honorable Order Of Linden Avery Haters.

You can ask Jay directly, he came up with it. I'm not one of those misguided souls. ;)

Ah ha! thank you that was bugging me. I'm not of the Linden hating variety either but I do have some strong "bring back TC" leanings.
