Re: Mac users: Do you buy AppleCare?

I've heard it's a waste of money, like most extended warranties.

This reply was probably useless, but I hoped it helped in some way. $189 seems steep for an extended warrenty that you may never use. We did, however, get an extended warranty from Staples for my sister's laptop. She spilled OJ on it and they're going to replace the keyboard and any other damaged items in it, pro bono.
I got that.
I already blew up my iPod earlier this year and I was fortunate that it was under warrenty. After that I got the Applecare. You're going to have to evetually replace the battery which is about $60 which is what the Applecare cost. If my iPod blows up again it'll be covered. I learned the hard way always have your hardware covered no matter how much it cost. It'll hurt more if your notebook meets an early demise and you have no other choice but to toss it.
