Console messages help!!!!

Merry Christmas All!!

I have been monitoring my console and I seem to be getting a lot of different messages, bit worried about it.

Should I be getting as many as 1000 per day?

Is it something I should be worried about?

Do I need to get a replacement mac as this one is barely 4 weeks old, all I have installed is WOW and bootcamp/windows and a couple of apps and widgets?

Different ones appear as I access/exit an app./folder/browser/iTunes etc and some always appear, here are few recent samples:

There are plenty more messages but to be completly honest I have not really noticed any crashes/freezes/slow downs other than just once when my system pref went a bit funny when trying to access mail pref., got the beach ball when I tried to click back to show all while my mac was trying to populate the mail accounts??

Are Macs this problematic as I don't remember having this many issues/glitches when I was using my XP Pro PC, hope I didnt waste my money, someone please reassure me???

Would appreciate any help or advise on this.

Thanks....

No, don't be concerned. You generally shouldn't look at the Console unless instructed to do so.

I plead guilty of looking at the Console when I was NOT instructed to do so. I have no excuse whatsoever for my reckless behavior. Please don't make me listen to any more Christmas music before I am banished to the bottom of the fiscal cliff.

Seriously, I keep getting the following message ad infinitum:

12/27/12 4:25:04 PM	michaels-imac	com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[121]	(com.apple.AirPortBaseStationAgent[889]) Exited with exit code: 1
12/27/12 4:25:04 PM	michaels-imac	com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[121]	(com.apple.AirPortBaseStationAgent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
12/27/12 4:25:14 PM	michaels-imac	com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[121]	(com.apple.AirPortBaseStationAgent[890]) posix_spawn("/System/Library/CoreServices/AirPort Base Station Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/AirPort Base Station Agent", ...): No such file or directory

Any advice on how to obliterate the redundent message would be greatly appreciated.
