OK, I admit I also suffer from that psychological quirk which is even
stranger since I am a woman.
There were these stories I told myself:
0: Where is a good mechanic?
1: You can't trust them anyway.
2: Taking my vehicle there means I'm stuck while it's being fixed.
3: I can do a better job myself.
4: Deep down inside I am a miser as well as a spinster.
5: The metal feels good.
6: I enjoy getting all dirty.
But I do this with everything else I own (sewing machines are damnable!).

Anyway, I am impressed by the proportion of us who run MacIntosh, we are
truly a perverse bunch!(rather than "eclectic").
