We have about 30 Macs, mostly SE's networked to LaserWriter Plus and II/NT.
AppleCare for the first 8 Macs is expiring (after 1 year) and management is
considering going on a time and materials basis to save money on the 
expensive AppleCare.

Do any of you have experience with similar installations and do you use
AppleCare? Would you advise us to drop AppleCare or keep it? We thought we
could get replacement parts and keep repaired parts for spares in some cases,
though I don't beleive we have anyone on staff that could actually do the
repair/replacement in-house.

I'd appreciate any advice you have on this matter. Unfortunately, we've
been losing news lately, but mail seems to be getting through. I know this
has the potential of starting a "discussion" on the net, but I may not see
it, so please email responses and I'll summarize if there is enough response
(even though I may not be able to read it).

Thank you in advance.  I hope we get our comp.sys.mac news group back soon!
