After owning all sorts of Macs over the years, staring with a Mac Plus, 
I had my first hardware problem earlier this year. The CD R/W went 
south on my Dual 1.25Ghz tower. It was still under factory warranty, so 
no problem. But I bought the extra two years right before the free one 
year warranty expired.

I figured the machine's had one problem, so it might have more.

And if it doesn't, I'll just consider it a bribe paid to fate to insure 
the machine's "health." ;-)

It's like any insurance, you don't need it until you need it. A peace 
of mind thing.

But as another poster noted, I'd always definitely get it for a laptop.
