It was worth it. You can't self-repair a laptop very easily. I also got a new iPod when mine croaked and have several friends who did the same ... Apple machines sure can break, and when they do, can be damn expensive to fix. But balance all those Apple Cares against just buying a new one or living with a spotted screen or dead USB port and maybe it's not worth it?

I don't think you'd really need it for a desktop. iPhone, I can't really say. They seem built solidly enough but who knows. I've never had a problem with iPods though.

For a puter? I ain't buyin' no after market iphone, that's for sure, I'm to wimpy to handle that. As for not having one yet, well... it still isn't ideal! And it really wouldn't take much to make it ideal - that's the sad part. But in the face of a dieing 650 I guess I gotta do what I gotta do. And I can't get you a new iMac, I'm too busy getting me one. :) I'm giving Apple a lot of my hard earned cash very soon now. what’s the educated opinion on apple care? worth the extra ducats? for the iphone?

"Stop whinin' and bitchin' and just buy the blasted thing already!" was often on the tips of my fingers. ;-p Considering the amount of iPhone posts you have for a non-iPhone owner, it’s about f**kin’ time. “Stop whinin’ and bitchin’ and just buy the blasted thing already!” was often on the tips of my fingers. ;-p

What's the other way? Lucky you mr. month to month. If my previous treo hadn't died, I'd be in that camp too. Sniffle, sniffle. Palm's costing me a heck of a lot of money. One way or the other?
