-I'm an equal opportunity OS user - I use and am familiar with Windows, OS Xand Linux. I'm *less* familiar with the successor to OS X, Apple'​s ​MacOS, mostly because all my Macs are now at least 10 years old, and I can't use anything past High Sierra (10.13), because some of the apps I use are 32-bit only.+I'm an equal opportunity OS user - I use and am familiar with Windows, OS X (and MacOS), and Linux.
