[QUOTE="hankakston, post: 1619256, member: 47479"] I appreciate your taking into account my budget, and showing me ways to save even more. I can accept the increase of price for these two upgrades if, as I see they possibly - if not probably - are important ones. And your suggestion of the 27" iMac is something I looked into too as soon as you mentioned it. Why did I mention the 39" 4k? It all started with my interest in the Mac-Mini and knowing I’d need a display. I was thinking about how little space the Mac-Mini would take, so a 39" would be about what I have now. That's my mistake in not thinking properly in measurements. I didn't even imagine how large a 39" display is, or even the 27". Finally I took a measurement of the Apple display I have now, and it's 23" measured diagonally, not close to the 39” I imagined. For me that 23” Apple screen always seemed large. Too large. Then I took a measurement of my Windows display and it's 21", which is fine. (Incidentally, I'm not only ignorant as to the technical terms involved in what I'm after - I've become over the last few years incredibly math illiterate, to the point that I've actually forgotten much of my multiplication table and cannot remember anymore how to do long division, or the arithmetic of subtraction.) So I’ve been making mistake after mistake. I feel like I’m almost there with you getting me thinking about the 21" iMac, as opposed to my friend’s idea of the much more expensive iMac with Retina 5K. I didn’t even see the 21” iMac at the Apple store until you suggested it. All I was looking at were the three Mac-Minis and the iMac with Retina 5K display. So, I’m pretty much ready now to go with the 21” iMac. Just want to make sure I know what I’m doing as far as the two upgrades, and now memory for it. And wondering if there’s something else I’m missing. I wasn’t joking when I opened the thread declaring my ignorance: “I'm nearly computer (particularly Mac) ignorant.” Now I’m showing my ignorance and confusion all over the place. My apologies.
