Does anyone know how this all works in Florida? Up until a few weeks ago I was the manager of an Apple Service provider in the Tampa area. What you are saying is true. You can not (as an individual) buy Applecare in the state of Florida. If you have a business license with a separate tax ID # then you can. What it comes down to is that the gullible (or senile) elderly population in Florida have been marketed to death with offers from insurance companies (many of them scams) and they lobbied to have these types of insurances boycotted. Some companies have found legal loopholes in the system, like CompUSA for example, and they offer their extended warranties, but Apple is "not willing to jump through millions of hoops to comply with the pathetic laws of a small and insignificant state like Florida" (Quoted from an APP Service Manager in Austin Texas). I find it ridiculous that even if you go looking for Applecare and beg them for it they will not sell it to you if you are not a business in Florida. Go figure. Kyle H.
