The real moral of the story is, don't ever, ever help anyone with computer problems. I used to "help" people by building them setups cheaper than the OEM counterparts and thus, saving them money. When they came back to me with the problems they've caused and expected me to fix them, I couldn't take it anymore and stopped being that "computer guy."

I sympathize that it's your job. I would have probably gone ballistic on a customer as obtuse as that.

Actually I always liked being that "computer guy", but thats the downside of it, yeah. Some people think that you gave some kind of lifetime warranty on the stuff you built for them, even though it was just a favour.
