Why not applecare -- it sure seems worth the $$

Not to be pedantic, but I've always figured that it is more then worth it to
purchase the Applecare for laptops -- given that in 3 years something
EXPENSIVE is bound to happen with a laptop and with the history of all these
iBook logic board failures, battery problems (though I'm not sure AppleCare
covers batteries -- anyone know), and iBook G4 trackpad problems, etc.. It
seems like a smart investment to me.  FWIW the iBook AppleCare can usually
be had for <$200 US via SmallDog and others and covers everything purchased
at the same time as your iBook (in my instance, the airport extreme card)
