HUGE fan of the iMac. 27in 5K model was my dream computer. Finally able to get it in 2017. I have done everything to keep this baby going, including booting from external SSD and recent fresh install of macOS. In truth, it runs beautifully!

Unfortunately, it doesn't run Citrix Workspace, which I need for my job. It's frankly the primary bit of software I am in all day long. I've tried using Luna Display to make this an external display for my MacBook Air and it is INCREDIBLY buggy.

I brought this device like 1-2 years ago to trade in to Apple, and they convinced me not to because of how great the condition of it is and how beautiful the screen is. I agree -- it's STILL the nicest display I have ever used.

Any advice or ideas as to what I can/should do with it? I had to just pitch it or trade it in, but I am getting frustrated with the Citrix issue and Luna, and know I otherwise just won't use it any more as a result... (Notably, I did call LOTS of IT support, and the damn thing is just outdated, nothing else to possibly fix).

Many, many thanks!

I have been writing in small notebooks for my kids -- memories, impressions, advice, whatever. Short entries. Over a few years, about ¼ way thru an A5, so may take some time. Also have two little Field Notes for them.

I am hoping these things last the test of time. Aside from Ballpoint, oil-based ink, are there others out there which will stand the test of time? I'm fearful water-based Gel inks or Fountain Pen ink will fade and not sure where/how to check on this. Thanks so much!
