Hey everyone, okay, so the end of the free warranty on my macbook is coming up in like a week, and I'm getting the jitters about whether I should get applecare after all.
Trouble is, I don't actually live in a country where they sell it--right now. But a move is in the works in the next few months, then I _will_ live in a place where they have it. And the thinking is, I might want it then, but I take it I'm supposed to buy it _before_ the free warranty's up. So I was thinking whether I should bust my ass and find a way to buy it (eg via ebay). I'd kinda decided not to after all, but especially after I saw the new 'puters, which aren't white anymore, I'm even more determined to keep this little guy ;-) for a good few years. My question is, is it worth doing it, given
a) it will be a bit of hassle to locate it
b) timing's pretty close (I seriously meant to write earlier and ask, but I've been sick as a dog for weeks, and couldn't get my head straight long enough to do it, not ot mention I'd sort of decided to leave it after all. 'cept now I got the jitters about my computer)
c) I take fairly good care of my stuff, am not too klutzy, and not in a profession that requires using the computer in dodgy circumstances too often (where, I dunno, dust might get in or it might get shaken up or whatnot)?
Second question, if I go ahead with it, what's the quickest way to get it, bearing in mind the deadline, as it were, is December 12 (yeah I know, but like I said, it's been a *****ty few weeks. I'm behind on everything, and this is the first thing I got down to doing now I'm sorta better)?
Okay, thanks for reading, and any advice will be very much appreciated, and all the more so as this is quite short notice!
