I also think what is amazing about iMac’s is how good the speakers are when you are sitting at the computer - very good quality and depth of sound for what it is.

I’m sorry for snapping that pic on memory, but I discovered the reason for my problem. It was my McAfee Total Protection for Mac. Thinking about the progressive worsening of the slowing on my Mac, it occurred after I had recently installed McAfee, and then shortly thereafter Monterey. Now...
