at least not around here, Apple said it would send me a return box and
as soon as it received the box back, it would send me a *NEW* iPad of
the same vintage and memory size, at no cost, and if it didn't have one
of my vintage in stock, it would send me a current model.

Oh, and the support guy spoke "American-ese" and was in Pennsylvania.

Happy New Year!



And if you figure what you paid for Apple Care and the repair fee, you most
likely could have bought a new iPad.


I paid $99 total for several years of Apple Care. No repair fee. Free
shipping. Do the math.

I have a little Apple stock. Doing very well.
So keep on buying.

I've never owned any Apple products but have also done OK with the
stock. They have a very loyal customer base and their product designs
are very slick, but overpriced in my opinion.
