[Ti] Decision time, Applecare YES - NO?

[Robert Nicholson]

Has anybody been tracking the price of Applecare? It's like Rolex 
watches. They seem to be increasing
the price to encourage customers to purchase the coverage soon rather 
than later. I hope this doesn't
continue without justification. I choose to wait until May (last month 
of my warranty) before purchasing
Applecare mainly because from what I understand Apple will not allow 
you to transfer the coverage
to another machine so it is effectively part of the value of the 
machine. So if someone steals my laptop,
or I drop it or whatever I'm out the cost of Applecare. I wonder if 
contents insurance covers other forms of insurance.
