Should Apple recall the iMac G5?

The iMac G5 is one sexy machine. The screen is flawless, the industrial design is unrivaled, but why are so many of them encountering numerous problems shortly after they arrive at their new homes?

Damien Barrett thinks it might be time for a recall, and he just might be right. It seems that one of the boards on the early iMacs many not have been manufactured as well as it could have been which is leading to many reports of dead, and dying, iMacs.

This is just a theory, however, the large number of these machines that seem to be failing point to some sort of systematic problems. The only person I know who bought one had several problems with her's (all covered under warranty) until she got so feed up that she sold her iMac and bought a Dell.

Have any of you iMac G5 owners out there had similar experiences to Damien's?
