The way he acts does not surprise me, I met him many years ago at an 
Apple convention in San Francisco, he is not very good with a lot of 
people or being asked questions, he also tends to say what he means 
right out, remember he is a computer geek.   I remember how I was in 
high school, I was really into electronics, and really did not deal very 
well with people, that was over 40 years ago.
