Gosh, PC's suck. I bought a nice used laptop Dell XPS M2010 so I can do my car tuning because I can't use my MAC. I forgot how much I hated PC's. It's constantly doing software updates, needing restart, throwing warning popups, encountering threats, and just has too many freaking settings. So annoying! That's all. Just had to vent a little.
Now I'm off to pull my old fuel tank. |

You could have created a virtual windows machine on the Mac or use boot camp to boot as a windows machine rather than buy new hardware. It is still essentially a windows machine at that point so you wouldn't avoid the bazzilion updates. Presumes your Mac is of intel proc vintage.
Happy wrenching!

Just lay the laptop under the fuel tank, it will load all of the updates and restart itself  |

Maybe I should have just left the fuel tank in there. It might have connected itself to the engine and started up. |
