I've had AppleCare AND a broken Mac.  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.
