[QUOTE="MrC, post: 394846, member: 31248"] First of all, let me say, Hello to everyone!!!, I am a new member here and have been reading this site for a few days. This is a great Mac site and very very informative. After getting my wife, her 15" MBP, I as well took the plunge and got myself the 17" MBP, GO MAC OS X!!!!!!! I fell in love with the iMac 24" and got that a bit later. The great happiness of opening up a new Apple Box :D . Anyways, open it, set it up and bam theres 2 pixels in separate areas, that are DOA. Since I finicky, I noticed it, but after using it for a few days, it doesn't really bother me that much. And with my luck, if I took it too the Genius bar, they might not even swap it out, but I spoke with the the manager and she said that if the folks at the Genius bar said it was ok, more than likely they would swap it out, I also called another store and they said that usually Apple's dead pixel rate is 5 % and that is allowable, but since its a new unit and its recent they would go ahead and swap it out. Here's my dilema, knowing the kind of luck that I have, well if it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any, really that the story of my life. I have all of the software installed and the last thing that I want to do is uninstall everything, Aperure, CS 3 etc, many apps already on the iMac. I might run the risk of getting another 24" but with even more dead pxiels, what do you guys think? Also, I don't have a mouse pad, why would my mighty mouse cursor, move to the corner by itself when moving it at times, or move randomly away from where I moving it around to? FYI, bought it last Tuesday and its 14 days policy, so i still have time to take care of this, so if anyone wants to chime in and give me there input, it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance ;D Mr. C [/QUOTE]
