Yeah, if you don't need the wireless, get a free modem instead. But remember to place the order thru me for the service.

Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Trust my rage
Just got a warning in the mail that the warranty on my Powerbook is about to be over, and did I want to buy the extra two years of AppleCare?
Not sure how helpful this is, but I just got AppleCare for my Powerbook. I got in just before the one year deadline. I had a problem with the screen on my last powerbook, but I didn't have AppleCare. It worked out okay for me that time, but convinced me to be sure to buy it in the future. My brother, who is a university IT guy, always recommends AppleCare for laptops since they get carried around so much.
As a student, I think I got it somewhere around the price ND got.

So now would not be the time to mention that my Powerbook has to go in for the second time in a year?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Of the seven Macs I've purchased for my workplace since 1988, four have needed major servicing within three years of purchase. OTOH, my old Powerbook 500C still runs fine, according to the friend I gave it to six years ago.

I'm running on a 7600/132 upgraded to G3/300.
It has never needed major servicing.
