  Well.... Isn't that special?  I took delivery of my Mac IIx and AppleColor
RGB monitor on December 21, 1989.  Funny thing.  I took delivery of my LaCie
105Mb hard disk around December 10, and it's covered until December 10, 1994.
Why couldn't Apple have done something reasonable like saying "If you
purchased it in the last year, it's under warranty until a year after you
bought it."???????

Still pissed off at these people,
