This is true of most waranties and other customer service type things.
Otherwise you could buy something, and wait as long as you liked to register
it.

On the other hand, if you have lost your reciept I would recommend two
possible options.

1) (best bet) contact the company you bought it from, they can probably
   verify the date of your purchase and produce a duplicate invoice or
   similar thing for you.

2) If you really just bought it, and you got it from a place that has
   high product turnover that got it from a distributor with high turnover
   then You might be able to convince Think to check their records for 
   when your serial number left their place.  If it's since the magic
   date, there is no way you could have bought it any earlier.

These and similar techniques have worked for me at various times in the 
past in various related situations.


Hope they help.
