I agree, if an extended warranty is used for a repair it's a great
value, but generally they're purchased and never used, thus putting
tons of money into retailers/manufacturers pockets. However, as I
wrote in my reply to Dave, I've never thought of an extended warranty
as insurance, but if you think of it that way it makes a heck of a
lot more sense.

That is a good point. I just hope I never have reason to sell one of
my Macs while it's still under AppleCare.
