On the left-hand column go down till you see Business Services and the 
first link under that should be Applecare.  APP for Powerbook - 
Enrollment Kit for $349.

I read about this as well and found it kind of strange.  When I was in 
Taiwan 2 years ago for 2 years I had my Powerbook G3 in the shop twice 
and they asked if I was still under extended warranty (which I 
unfortunately was not) but it was my impression that they would have 
accepted it if I was.

I believe as long as you're still under your complimentary coverage 
that comes with the hardware you'll be able to extend.  I extended mine 
a few days before my year was up.
