Apple Care is an especially good deal for powerbook users as it also covers your original battery, which will almost certainly need replacing within 3 years. The battery needn't die, either, it's enough that it isn't "working properly", which is a bit subjective, but which is the standard Apple uses for anything else, such as the CD/DVD, etc. In practical terms, I got my Lombard battery replaced right at the end of the 3-year Applecare period. It was holding about a 30 minute charge and when I called, the Apple people didn't even question the claim; they immediately opened a case number and starting processing shipment of the new battery. Great stuff. Considering that a new battery is usually about half the price of Applecare, it's not a bad deal. Chris H -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
