Do you have any more information on the university cost of AppleCare
on other components (monitors & hard disks).  Can a university researcher
pay this cost direct to Apple and have the machines serviced by any
authorized dealer or is it necessary to subscribe with a dealer (e.g.,
the university computer store) who may charge a higher price and pocket
the difference?

Thanks,
Mike
