Sounds like the one I knew that taught at a local, laughed at school.  Somebody gave him my number (could have only been a couple of people, who didn't own up to it).  He needed me to make room on his pc, so he could install some program (don't remember what it was now), and use another program that you would laugh at.  He thought he could just delete the programs in office or windows that he didn't need.  His hard drive had tons of space on it, and he asked how to install this program, that had Disc 1, disc 2, disc 3,  LOL.
The ONLY program he could run, was the one that he taught and used.  He ended up buying the video professor series, to learn how to use his pc.
I heard more about that school, that I stayed FAR away.
