AppleCare will not cover abuse, neglect or accidents. But that raises an issue that I don't see mentioned very often. I have had Safeware coverage since I bought my PB six years ago. It covers practically everything that AppleCare won't. Safeware has an excellent reputation and is used by a lot of PB owners. As easy as it is to have an accident carrying around, and setting up, a PB from place to place, I wouldn't dream of being without that extra coverage. It's well worth the minimal cost IMO. <http://www.safeware.com/> My $.02 worth, B0b -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
