Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The Moto G (and probably the Moto E) is also one of the smallest smartphones, dimenson-wise. I don't know if that makes a difference to you or not. Most definitely bigger than a flip phone, but smaller than most smartphones out there.

In this case, size really doesn't matter (snerk).

Dad has a Moto ...not sure which one. I highly advise you get a casE for your phone. And if the case doesn't have a built in screen protector one of those as well.
I drop my phone a lot.
I have a Speck case with a Zagg glass shield and I had to replace the shield recently. . I sat on the phone and the shield cracked bit not the actual phone. Fir full protection Otterbox is good and they have a warranty on their cases.

The big smartphones are too unwieldy for my tiny hands. It's weird.

I have a Note 4 which is one of the larger phones. I got it party because if the size but partly because I thought I'd use the stylus and note features. I dont.
However my eyes are at a stage where I don't need bifocals but to see far away I need a prescription that makes close things blurry. I don't always have to take off my glasses for my phone but when I was helping Dad with his phone I needed to take my glasses off.
This probably wouldn't be such an issue if I didn't use my phone more for the Internet than anything else.

Compassionately intolerant
I've got about a day and a half to decide whether or not to replace my mac mini.
I don't really want a laptop and want to get away as inexpensively as possible...but I'm done buying used computers.
I have loved the mini but my current one is so fiendishly slow and crashy, it makes me frantic some times.
The imac 27" in attractive, but I hate the idea of an all-in-one, cuz if one goes all elements go.
On the other hand, the mini line seems to be diminished, which makes me worry that it will be discontinued soon.
Can the mac folks, ND, Daniel, etc weigh in on my best bet between the two (and the best configuration) especially for longevity?

Our wings are not tired
I own close to 50 Mac minis and they have all been workhorses. Don't buy the cheapest one, but one notch up. Better processor and better video card on that one.
I also have three of the 27" Retina iMacs that are amazing machines as well as iMacs going back to a 24" from 2009. I have never had the monitor section fail in one so I don't consider the all in one aspect a problem.
