Re: MAC warranty good or bad?
Is there a reason you're asking about what's covered on an extended warranty here, rather than reading the fine print yourself?
Seem's you'd want to read it, yourself....

Re: MAC warranty good or bad?
I think its worth it. I've got a year and a half old PowerBook that the power cord was starting to short out. I called AppleCare at 3pm last tuesday and told them. Wed am I had a new one delivered to my door. There was a sheet enclosed that had DHLs phone number, and instructions on returning. I had to rip off the top label, the return ship label was already in place. Called DHL and they picked up the old part THAT afternoon. All done in less than 24 hours. Not bad. If your HD, motherboard, or virtually anything goes wrong in that 3 years, they will replace it. I recently bought a G5 with a 23" monitor and the dealer sold me the AppleCare 3 year for $150 that covers the computer AND the monitor. The local Mac shop will fix most any problem within 24 hours. I definitely think its worth it.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to a warranty for his camera, not a MAC computer

The fine print is not very detailed and is often confusing. Also, often the company itself does not follow their own fine print.

Then you probably wouldn't want their warranty, would you.

Unless you have something meaningful to add then perhaps you should get out of this thread. Got nothing better do do with your time?
When I said "the company often does not follow their own fine print" I meant companies in general, not Mac.

My friend, I quote you:
"the company often does not follow their own fine print".
Is there some reason you're not able to review an extended warranty contract yourself?
Asking for advice about details online regarding a warranty "you" want, is rather naive.
