 Mac Specs: 27" iMac Core i5

yesterday evening I purchased a brand new 27" Core i5 iMac. I came home, installed it and this morning I see that if I run the command "ac -p" that the root account has been logged in for about 1080 hours! Is this normal? I cannot believe Apple tests these things for about a month before shipping? I also noted that the iMac was packed in this white protective sleeve (seal was already broken!), but the screen did NOT have the transparent foil that I see users taking off when unboxing (see Youtube)... Also iLife was NOT installed, I had to do this by myself. I'm afraid I have received a refurbished model. There is however nothing wrong with it, it's just that when you spend this amount of money you want a new one. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks! Tom |

Thanks again, - Nick p.s. It seems that this command doesn't make the "Top 50 Terminal Commands" in this article: http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2008...-commands.html - Computer slow, too many "beachballs", read this: Beachballs - Computer seems slower than it used to?
