It seems to me that technology is not his thing.
He buys really nice looking electronics and stuff, but has no clue how to use it- it's like it's more for showing off than for actually using it.
He never reads the directions, losing them under a mountain of papers on his desk.
He can't set digital clocks, still uses a VCR, and only just recently bought a DVD player- I had to show him how to use it.
He will go to the store, get a few similar products, set them out on the floor, buy the cheapest one he can, and then wonder why his standard definition TV doesn't look as good as my Hi Def set.
He goes to the video store and pores over the used video cassette tapes and buy 5 or 10 of them and wonders why his tapes don't look as good as a DVD.
Another bad habit is he will buy the stuff that is nearly totally obsolete and wonder why he can't get them fixed.
Is this guy just clueless or what?
Also, he seems to have general difficulty with life in general.

HE'S CHEAP!
That's his problem.
I had a customer years ago that bought old "used" VCR editing systems and cameras that just did not serve his needs, and he always had it in for service....always wanted cheap repairs, cheap purchases.....You can't stop a person from making bad choices like that.
Maybe some day he'll wise up, but until then all you can do is say "You get MORE Bang for the buck if you buy mid-priced units" and "read and follow the instruction manual"
And let HIM figure it out.....

Not trying to be rude, but I believe the correct word is "acquaintance." If he were your "friend", you would be asking him these questions instead of posting them on here.
