John, 

I was discussing the same things with some friends recently... We thought
though - where else in the consumer world does this happen?

This is not insurance. Insurance coverage stays with a person. This is a
specifically valued warranty extension on a specific piece of electronic
gear. Well you obviously know what it is.. But as far as it covering
whatever else you happen to throw at it - it just doesn't happen,
anywhere(?)
