No, it's not. Call them back and if you get that bullshit again,
ask to speak to the supervisor. And then ask for his supervisor,
if necessary. It probably doesn't come with 3.1, you just got

BTW, I was just looking at an iMac the other day and it had 2.3,
2.4 and 2.5 installed. Beyond their expertise indeed.
