this may be a stupid question -- but why Florida???


Bill (et al),

I had the same question when I was getting ready to buy my first Mac last
April, a TiBook 800. I live in Florida and I was pricing it through Mac Mall
in Calif. and asked about Applecare. They said they could ONLY sell it to me
in Florida IF I was a business....not as a private individual. I got the
same exact answer locally at the Apple section of my CompUSA store (staffed
by a very good, and sometimes lonely, Apple guy). Apparently, since we can't
figure out how to vote down here, they figure we can't handle the
intricacies of a service contract either. ;)

I bought the TiBook through my business and got my Applecare with no
problem. There actually is some reason they can't sell them here but I
honestly don't know why they only allow businesses to purchase the plan.
