Well this is definitely an interesting turn of events. This August/September, I had contacted Apple to see if I could send a second 5300cs I had, through the REA. They said 'no' because the program was over. I wonder what happened to have caused them to extend the program? I suspect it might have something to do with the filing & judgement dates of the original lawsuit that brought the REA program about in the first place. Either way, I now have a case number for this book that has never been through the REA. Thanks Greg for posting the updated REA info here.
