I think that there's probably a regionally specific (there's that term
again) AppleCare that you need to purchase in Florida? Like I mentioned, it
is just the actual AppleCare purchase that is regional - your coverage is
national if not international.

What, is Florida Dell country or something? Why the Florida snub from
Apple???

I imagine Apple has all these wacky terms because every state has totally
contrary insurance legalities. Just like how in some parts of Europe, all
electronics, including Apple comp's receive 2 years minimum warranty.

I am sure you can still get coverage, just be careful who you buy it from
and that they know of these issues.. Otherwise they could pull a SmallDog on
you and make you ship it off.
