For example...

My SE died three days before the warranty expired; my Laserwriter+
died two days later. Best thing that could have happened to me!
I ended up with new analog and video cards (which included the newer,
quieter fan) and a LaserWriter II. I have no complaints about Apple's
service (I got the Mac back in a day; the printer took a little wrangling,
until they admitted they couldn't fix it).
