I got a refurbed 27" iMac with a 10-core i9 @3.7GHz last year.  With 128GB of RAM in it, I expect it to last me about 10 years.  (like my mid-2011 4-core i7 @2.94GHz)

For work, (compiling Docker-based React & python apps), it's much faster than the M1 Pro MacBook Pro my company gave me.  And much easier to look at.

A "pro" iMac with memory, screen size, and a lot of Mx cores would be very tempting.

George - as Multimedia said, the price is right: I paid $12 last month for 4 of phones with unlimited talk and text. As a bonus, Comcast is paying me $100 for each of the 3 iPhones that I migrated (offer expired now) and $200 for the iPhone 8 that I bought for my wife -- after a few months of continued service, of course.

Comcast is Xfinity. The way it was explained to me is: Verizon was needing financial help several years ago to complete their network - Comcast helped out and is now exercising their right to use Verizon's network. And they aren't charging much for it!
