I lost a lot of time and money maintaining Windows BS and paying for anti-malware that I'm glad to be rid of it since 2007.

Ignorance becomes you.

While Mac OS is Unix compliant it is not entirely "Unix" at heart.

That is probably confusing to people who don't understand what Unix
compliance implies.

Did Pendejo-47 just make it easier for me to get my car repaired?

I had an intermittent temperature sensor issue in my tranny, whereas the 'Service Engine' light would come on when I started the car in cold
weather. I had my local shop run a diagnostic, and that revealed the
exact location of the failing part. However my local shop could not
obtain the part, so they referred me to a tranny shop in a nearby city,
who also could not order the part.

I called two dealerships, both of which were several hours from my home.
Both told me they could perform the repair, but needed to run the
diagnostic themselves. I explained that the problem was intermittent,
and after being on the road for some hours, the diagnostic would show no problem.

At that point I sent a rude letter to the automaker, and traded the car
in on a more reliable make.
