Someone (Gavin, I think it was) had a problem with the 1-year warranty;
I was comparing that to a lot of equipment nowdays that only has a 
90-day warranty.

Dell only gives you 90 days, for example, unless you pay more.  I think
that Apple, giving a one-year warranty "out of the box", then letting you
buy an "extended" warranty (AppleCare) before that original warranty runs
out, is a great thing.  I was able to buy AppleCare for my Cube, even though
I was not the original owner, 2 weeks before its original one-year warranty
ran out.

I'll be purchasing AppleCare for this Tower within the next 2-3 months.
