[G4] AppleCare

[H. David Templeton]

It's a shame to have to pay a manufacturer to warranty their products, 
but my experience shows that you're going to pay one way or the other. 
I failed to purchase the extended warranty on my G4 Mirrored Door. 
Shortly after the expiration of the free Apple Warranty, I begin to 
experience significant, but intermittent, display issues. Although the 
problem seemed like a software issue, Apple believes it is a hardware 
issue. Probably the motherboard. Should have bought the extended 
warranty!
