basically, yup.

i'm saying that antifreeze needs to stay away from our systems and that methanol works literally thousands of times better, and that yes, after after all my reasearch and unbeknownst to me at the time, windshield wiper fluid has been using roughly this same formula forever and a day. knowing that, just keep in mind to read the contents for additives that might adversely affect your computer. the best fluid out there for our purposes will only have distilled water and methanol. some of them add small soap agents, some of them make fluid out of watered down antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol) or Propylene Glycol. those are the ones to avoid.
