Well, I have an advantage in that I have a friend that works in tech support so I can get most things fixed or replaced without an issue. When I actually bother to log in I see that I only save $8 off of that price. Man that bums me out. Usually it's much larger. The only saving grace is I qualify for 12 months no interest. Still if I decide to get it I will have to search for a coupon code first. That discount is just insulting after all the money I've spent with them.
