Having had the maintenance contract has saved me many $s. I'm on my second mouse, second external drive, and third keyboard, and all it's cost me has been a few trips to my dealer (and a few disks that the external drive ate on its way out). In addition to AppleCare, you might want to consider fire/theft insurance. -- David W. Smith {nsc,ucbvax}!tolerant!dws Tolerant Systems, Inc. 408/946-5667 [Standard Disclaimer]
