Of course...This is the company that charged $4.00 per month for 25 years
for a $20 telephone. And claimed it was a good deal. :-)

Seriously, their price is quite in line with what any value added
computer services dealer would charge for a comparable piece of equipment.
The value added in this case may not be software or anything like that,
but the assurance to a customer that if the Mac croaks, there'll be another
in place operating within 'X' hours.
