| IMHO, Applecare makes sense for laptops, not desktops. I bought Applecare for both of my desktops -- and used it. Both times it was a wonky DVD or CD burner. Didn't return my $150 Applecare fee (or whatever it was). Put aside $10 a month and make your own insurance. YMMV. Doug

| FYI - the amount of extended AppleCare is the same no matter when you apply it. It's always 1 year for buying, and two years are added onto that w/ Applecare.
