That's pretty much the same vein of conversation when a sales rep tried to
push a $19.95 warranty/service plan for a $70 computer motherboard & CPU.
Should the items purchased go wonky, the same amount of money will get me
something much, much better in the future. Now if the warranty covered the
damage caused to the rest of my computer system should the board & CPU die,
that would be a whole other matter. The retail world is nuts...

I bought a little Kodak digital camera (for snaps) last year. They guy
tried to sell me an extended warranty. I asked how long the manufacturers
warranty was, he said one year. I told him "dude, if this thing breaks
after one year, by that time, for less than the price of the warranty I'll
be able to buy the same camera but with more mpixs". End of convo....
