   I can't help but notice that his behaviour is very Snit Michael Glasser   
   Prescott Parasite and Computer Guy-like. I wonder if it is common of Mac   
   users to ask questions and then change the parameters of that question   
   when you answer it.

   I have to agree that he is being purposefully dishonest in his   
   interaction. I imagine that because Apple does a lot of hand-holding   
   both for the installation and any kind of technical support, he can't   
   fathom things being done even slightly differently.
