The trip to the Apple Store regarding the sick iMac went the best possible way. I requested they take it to the back room and make it catch fire if you must to find any hardware anomaly.
Note: one does not 'set something on fire' but rather one 'sets something afire.' The former is acceptable if you don't mind sounding like an unwashed yokel who never passed high-school English.
News yokels use 'set something on fire' frequently ... but no-one would ever accuse a journo of passing a high-school English course.
The objective is as much validation of hardware as possible such that it can be closed as an open item and we can move on to finding the perpetrator.
The other choice was to bring it back here but a more effective use of the next twelve to sixteen hours is via formal diagnostics rather than bringing up Yosemite 10.10.3 and simply looking at it for the same period to observe for the intermittent crash. If it were to crash during the latter test, that would only mean taking it back to the Apple Store so do it now and close this stage and the loop.
There is no pleasure in the problems but I'm pleased management of the problem moves apace and in an effective manner.
