<div>right, but the basic concept is that, when you need a repair on a Mac, and you are *not* protected by your 90-day, 1-year, or 3-year apple care, it's an out-of-pocket expense.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>zc</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><br><div><div>On Apr 16, 2009, at 10:57 AM, Aron S.

The 90-day is for "technical support"; i.e., "how do I...?", not for the warranty. That's part of what makes the value of AppleCare questionable (to me); it's not 3 years of coverage, it's 2 years extension on the warranty, plus tech support, which I have no need for.</font></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Andale Mono; min-height: 11.0px"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Andale Mono" size="2" style="font: 10.0px Andale Mono">When you call between 90 days and 1 year, you may be asked for credit card info, but you won't be charged if they determine that the problem is a hardware issue.</font></p> </blockquote></div><br></body></html>
