applecare ?
How many people have bought applecare for their Macs? Rev A macs.. did it ever come in handy. I hear that for laptops it is a good buy but ..for desktops? I am getting one of those new Quad macs and the salesman is really pushing the applecare saying that for Rev A machines there is always more problems..great sales pitch!

My theory is: don't buy AppleCare right away. If your machine has no problems during the first year, then the odds are in your favor.
If at some point during that first year you are led to believe you've got a lemon, then by all means, purchase the extended warranty. (I got AppleCare during the 12th month because my 20" iMac had been in for logic board problems twice.)
I personally have an old G4 that is 8+ years old and still ticking..although slowly and have never thought of applecare before..this new Quad has me wondering.

I doubt it's THAT old. They were only introduced in August 1999!

For the quad G5, I would.
The quad G5 uses a liquid-cooled heatsink. Last I've read, the liquid-cooled heatsink is rated with a life of two years.
I got Applecare w/ my Powerbook. For 2.5 years, so far so good. To me, Applecare is basically insurance.
prone to abuse?
