[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1056097, member: 59143"] I find that to be a poor analogy and comparison with what has been presented here. If SquareTrade is going to offer a total replacement of the Logic board when Mr. Clumsy spills soda or orange juice all over his keyboard, then I'd say it's well worth the money. A scratch, ding or dent on a car isn't going to make the car useless. You can still drive it. My only advice is to make sure that SquareTrade is totally legit and has honored their warranty service claims in the past. And as has been said, there aren't many reviews out there to confirm. An ex co worker friend of mine told me about a company that he was purchasing theft and damage insurance from for his MacBooks, but can't remember the name. I also recall him saying that they actually worked for him on a couple of occasions. The bottom line is, if buying said insurance/warranty gives YOU peace of mind, then don't worry about buying Apple Care exclusively. Doug [/QUOTE]
