Now that I've got a new PowerBook, I'm thinking later to get AppleCare. When
I got my previous PowerBooks, close to 2 years ago, it still had over a year

Apple Care is a two-year extension of your original warranty and ends
three years from the date of purchase of your PB, i.e. if you bought
your PB today, 9/2/04 it would end 9/2/07. Apple Care is a two years
extension, not three years from whenever you buy it.

ut there is another way to look at this. AppleCare must be a money making
business for Apple. Would anybody believe that Apple loses money on their
AppleCare coverage at the prices they charge? I doubt that. I think Apple
makes money on AppleCare. There must be many more people who buy

Yup, without question you are correct. However, like all insurance, the
point is to spread the liability out amongst the whole population of
subscribers. Thus, if my computer chokes and it's going to cost $1,000
to repair, I've made out by paying $350 for three years of AppleCare.

I have had Applecare on both my previous macs and will be buying it for
my Powerbook in March.
With Applecare, you get a 2 year extension on your warranty to bring it
to a total of 3 years
I am not saying that anybody should or should not buy AppleCare. And the
testimonials here about saving hundreds and even close to a thousand dollars
on repairs are very impressive.
But there is another way to look at this. AppleCare must be a money making

The Applecare service is definitely well worth the money and one
additional benefit that I forgot to mention in my initial response was
that it can be a great selling point when you are attempting to sell
your used Mac 2 years from now. If you still have 6-12 months (or
more) of Applecare

That is true for some companies but this is why you want to call
Applecare and maybe also check their website for international coverage
With desktops, well, there it's a toss-up. In my experience (non
Powerbook) Macs either break right away (within the 1 year warrantee),
or don't do so for years and years, and things that do break are
reasonably cheap to replace (primarily HDD's and optical drives).
