I don't know, I'm inclined to think that anyone getting a G5 or 
iBook/PowerBook should get it.  I've worked on everything from 
laptops to Mainframes, both on the software and hardware sides.  I've 
even used a soldering iron to fix more than one Mac.

I bought Applecare with my G5 2x2 and consider it money well spent.

This is the first system I ever bought it on, though I do regret not 
buying the extended warranty on my PowerBook 520c 10 years ago, as 
within days of the 1 year warrantee running out, the screen died 
(this was the last laptop I bought).

For some items though, it makes no sense whatsoever, these would be 
things such as the Mac Mini, or the iPod Shuffle.
