   Snit has a very wide knowledge base?   
   Are you serious?   
   Is this a joke?   
   If so it's quite entertaining.   
      
   Snit is a fucking idiot.   
   It's well known that he has the knowledge base, to use your terms, of   
   a rock.   
   You do realize that snit is an ongoing, perpetual joke in virtually   
   any usenet group, do you not?

   Good for you.   
   If it for some reason breaks, make sure not to ask snit "The Prescott   
   Computer Guy" for advice on how to repair it because he will surely   
   brick it and then run away while blaming YOU for the issues he caused.

   Good.

   My advice to you is to ask anyone but snit for advice.   
   Remember, snit couldn't even fix his own Mac after he bricked it.   
   Gremlin, a non Mac user, had to fix it for him.   
   That alone demonstrates how little snit knows about computers.

   Step 1--- Run from snit's advice.   
   Step 2 --- Ask the teen neighbor to fix it for you.

   No problem.   
   The more people who know about snit's ineptitude, the better.
