For iMacs I buy it... but not for my iPod Touch or Mac mini. Just too
expensive compared to the cost of the device.

AppleCare is EXCELLENT... and Apple has sent technicians to my house from
over 100 miles away. No questions asked. And with the machine they could not
fix they replaced it with a newer and better model (the one I am currently
on). They even put a bigger hard drive and more memory in it. The only thing
I had to pay for was, well, a new AppleCare policy. Even then they refunded
the remaining time from the old machine.
