Well, I don't know, but last I remember the price of a Mac logic board
was $125, and Applecare was only $90.  And since a lot of mac Logcs and
Powers died in a year, not 90 days, it was worth it.  But since the //'s
are built a *little* bit more reliably, (mostly simplicity-wise.  Now
real screen stuff, etc) it might be about 20 years before you have a
problem that costs more than $90. . .
