thanks

I'll most likely be not taking in for service at any of the places really, because i'm from up north. just heading to van in a couple of weeks for a few days and thought i'll get one while down there. Service will most likely be over the phone w/ apple support or if somethings goes severly wrong w/ the ibook, I'll have to send it it directly to Apple I guess.
another question. I don't have to take it to the same place where I bought it from for warranty work, do I? lets say I'm on a trip in the US and something goes wrong w/ the ibook, I can take it to one of the Apple Stores there?
