Well stated. Amazing how so many people just don't "get" this simple concept. Apparently there was a popular conception at one time that warned against buying extended warranties or "protection plans" that came about in the mid '80s. Great advice, but only in reference to extended warranties for radar detectors or microwave ovens; *not* cars or computers. In the cases of the latter, only a fool forgoes them. It's like saying, "I feel healthy today. I think I'll skip paying my health insurance premium." dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
