   Back in March I had my supply replaced.  Apple had just stopped giving
credit for the old supplies.  The technician I talked to said he'd give me
the credit anyway _if I bought one year of AppleCare_($12/mo = $144).
I gave him my "hard life" story and he charged me $15 for labor.  I don't
remember the exact cost, but mine was at least $220.  
  My Mac+ was working fine, but in the past 5 weeks my screen developed
the jitters again,  the power supply will often times "whine" (real high-
pitched sound), and my screen is twisted.  Now that I have AppleCare, I'll
get the supply and the screen replaced for "free".
