Hey everyone 
I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself: my name is Chris, and I just got a new iMac 2.93 GHz yesterday =) I'm really excited to have made the switch from Windows, and I look forward to using a Mac for many years to come!
That being said, I had a small question regarding boot times. Considering the fact that my iMac is a day old, I'm assuming that boot times should not be that long - however I am stalling on the gray Apple boot screen with the spinning wheel for close to one minute.
I have only installed a few programs: Office 2008, iWork, Aperture 2 and the messaging program Adium. Is it possible that these apps are causing the boot time to lag? It seems strange to be waiting for close to a minute to boot...
Anyways, I'd once again love to thank everyone for welcoming me into your community and I look forward for all the support that we can bring to the table together!
Chris
