Apple Care will honour the purchase date on the consumer's receipt. I am referring to those purchasing a computer from a retail store that would be considered new and not used (i.e. from a consignment store). As I mentioned before, my Rev B was a demo unit. I had no problems registering it with Applecare as it was sold to me out of the box but as a NEW computer. Amber -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
