$185 for an iBook AppleCare? That's amazing. My university doesn't 
support mac users save for lab macs. Apple itself doesn't sell it for an 
education discount!
Eric, unless you've been born under a lucky star or have great skills at 
repairing macs, AppleCare is great and usually pays for itself. SmallDog 
does discount if you don't have a great school discount.
