I did get Applecare for my iMac DV SE 2 1/2 years ago. Well worth it. Up until this week I've only had to call support a couple of times but last week the HD died. It was replaced by the local Apple Dealer under Applecare. > > After Applecare runs out, can you renew the coverage? It sure would > be nice.

It's only available for the initial period, probably for the very reason you cite. I have a question about restoring my iMac to it's previous condition but I'll post another message with a different subject. -Tina -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
