Thanks bob -- I'm assuming since these monitors are over 6 years old and the last I heard of the program working was in 2002/3, they've since discontinued the repair program. There's only so long a company can support a product, and monitors seem to have a much shorter life than computers.
In reality, there wasn't really a "program" at all -- Apple never announced that they would fix the monitors free of charge, nor were any notices sent out. If you knew about the KB article, you could quote it and get free/reduced-cost repair, otherwise you were S.O.L.
