There are always back ups/waiting lists at any local center so they usually can't even look at your machine for a couple of days after you drop it off. My old Indigo iMac spent 10 days at a service center once...arrrghhh. Very frustrating because the majority of the time it was on the shelf. Since this is my first Mac Portable, this additional benefit of not having to take it in and wait - and the same day turn around - is fantastic. I had no idea they had that policy for turning it around the same day they get it. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy the Applecare tomorrow. Feeling much less concerned about spending $380-400 for it now, given all the comments I have received here. Thanks guys, Amber PS. I read somewhere that you have to buy it within 30 days of the one year initial warrant expiring. Is that a new policy or is it still within one year from the purchase date ? Hoping it's the latter. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
