First one was dead out of the box

"I am a visual artist/video maker, had a very reliable Powerbook G4 that served me very well for six years but it was time to stare at a larger screen. The first 24" imac I got would not power up when I got it out of the box, and after several tries it finally did, but then would go into a coma rather than go to sleep—ie, I had to power it down and then turn it on again.

"I love that screen!



The iMac is used for multimedia, mostly Final Cut Express. It definitively excels for that task. Big screen, fast processor, what else would you need?
