[P1] Why not applecare -- it sure seems worth the $$

[Alric J. Lam]

Was it perhaps in your 3rd year of applecare?  Maybe that is the cutoff.....

Hmm, What's the trick to get it covered then?  I tried to be 
persistent, and between that and being on hold with I think  3 
different support personnel, I was on the phone at least a half an 
hour.  The ironic thing was that I'd heard people on this list getting 
batteries replaced before, and that was one of the reasons I bought 
AppleCare before the end of my 1 year warranty.  Then they tell me that 
unless my battery failed within some specific shorter time frame, it 
would not be covered by AppleCare.
