iMac acting up. Should I worry?

[allenmertes]

Earlier today my 1 month old C2D iMac started acting funny for a few minutes. Every app I tried to open would continually bounce in the dock until I had to force quit. I tried relaunching Finder, but it quit and never relaunched.

I was forced to restart and the computer hung on the gray screen before the indefinitely. I was finally able to startup by holding Option. I repaired permissions and verified the hard drive.

Everything seems to working fine again, but I'm worried that something is wrong. Should I be worried, or do you think it was just a one-time issue? Thanks for the help.

Macs spaz out once in a while. Used to happen more often with earlier versions of OS X. It's basically bugginess in the inner workings of OS X - launchd, and other system components. If it passed the disk check then there's probably nothing to worry about. Just keep on making regular backups (you were doing that anyway, right?)

Always. Thanks for the reassurance, too.
