And, though he may not have any Microsoft products, what about partnered games like "Age of Empires"? Probably doesn't have "Diablo" or any other "intense" game though. But hey, if he wanted them could he go to "Warez" and "Download" and "hack" them?

Sure, he has an "IV". He can "dive", but "diving" isn't allowed. He's neither "conscious", nor "unconcious", and he can't be "revived". His computer can't "multiply" or "divide", but it can do "statistics".

No "gloves". He can "cook", but not on a "stove" or a "fire". Regardless of the apostrophe, "I'm" not in the box, but "you're" in the box.
