Yeah, it's going to be heartbreaking turning the page.

One thing is for sure. We are getting our money's worth!
Heartbreaking? Money's worth? This seems philosophically dubious.
A gadget stops working because a business has decided so about their own gadget.
Some guys on GitHub work against it. We support it. Adventure ensues! Until it does not.
Something along those lines? ;)

I was upset, sad, or something when the GPU quit on my 2012,27inch,Imac, especially after I took it to 2 dealers who said it wasn't worth fixing(because they did not want to do it I suspect), at one dealer I saw several later used 27incher's, but decided to try a 24 inch MI from Amazon refurbished(about 800.00), I soon sent it back and bought a late 2015, 27 inch, 5k for 300.00. I just liked the style, and size better, I am now happy that my beloved 2012 is gone, and I have a lot less trouble to deal with.

I am sympathetic I really liked my 2012

Well, I look at it this way. Like I look at audio interfaces in my studio. Technology waits for no one, and from 44.1 to 192 kHz, and 32-bit to 64-bit.

One has to ask themselves? when is good enough?

I'm still rocking on a Digi 003 console. Still make great music, while considered a dinosaur, but the clients love the results.

Stay up with technology at a cost. Or, play the system and squeeze every drop.
