After 6 months of honeymoon, my iMac is finally failing. What do I do?

(I must confess I’m not completely clear on how to remove mac software…you just drag it to the trashcan?? As a lifelong PC user, that sounds paradoxically counter-intuitive )

short answer: yes (some apps have an uninstaller, tho)

Long answer: there are utilities that clean up some cruft left over when you drag the application to the trash. You can read something more in this topic.
