You are going to hear varying opinions on this. I bought Applecare on my first iMac and it paid for itself after only one simple repair. It was well worth the money for that but even if something had not gone wrong with my mac, I enjoyed the peace of mind and also the phone support which I found helpful on several occasions. Finally, it is a great selling point - if you want to sell your Mac and have say 6 months to a year left of the Applecare plan, you can transfer it to the new owner and they can be assured that if anything major goes wrong, it will be covered. I must agree that on most electronics I will not buy the extended warranty (i.e. DVD players, TV's etc). On a Mac, it is worth the money - IMHO.
