Sorry about the all caps title. And the French. But finally, I have my brand new iMac.
It's beautiful.
I'll post some pictures in a bit. No dead pixels as far as I can tell. Ahhh....
Japanese keyboard sucks though (apostrophe is shift+7) |

Front Row is cool (movie trailers!) but really nothing that special. Photobooth is fun though.
The UI is pretty slick, although the transitions are a little rough in some places.
The Japanese keyboard sucks. @ is beside the p (no shift required). |

| But then I can't type in Japanese. I'm sure I'll get used to this strange layout. |

| installing from dmg has two ways. A common one is to just drag the executable into your applications. Though sometimes (if it's a more complicated app), you'd actually have to install it (execute from within dmg). It will be pretty obvious. |

Generally when you open the dmg after mounting it, the Finder window's background will be an image with the installation instructions.  |

Extract them. A .sit file is a StuffIt archive. Double-click it. |

First crash. The dock froze its zoom thing, and I had to restart it. Couldn't do this with command alt esc, so I found the activity monitor and yeah. All good.
The dock still worked during the time, just was frozen mid zoom. |

Odd. I never used Dock magnification, so if there were any bugs with it, I probably never encountered them.
If you run into more problems, don't rule out hardware issues. Apple, on the whole is at the top of the industry for reliability (at least when it comes to desktops and laptops). However, that doesn't mean they're foolproof. I've heard plenty of stories of bad RAM. |

Ah, alright. Apparently the dock magnification thing happens every so often, it's not a big deal.
I do need to get another 512mb of ram for this though...kinda chunky from time to time. |
