They do sell SIMM memory modules now (right?) too which are pretty much
a Mac product.

As far as warranties go, although I do agree Apples, Sony's, <insert
standard 90-day warranty company>, suck major, I've been told that this
may be based on the fact (?) that electronic equipment is most likely to
fail in the first couple of months.  If it doesn't, then it'll probably
last forever (or at least a good subset thereof).  This doesn't mean the
connectors, and things won't break, but the actual circutry and
electronics won't.  Both my II+ and IIgs never had a problem in the
beginning, and they both are still running strong w/o any problems, even
despite the few layers of dust in the II+.  Or at least that's what I've
been told by some guy in physics/electronics I believe.
