Ask your fiednly :-) dealer what the cost is for a "rebuilt exchange"
unit. It's significantly $$$$$ less. But it's still Apple, and you'll
still pay $$.

I got this tip from a Businessland (definately *not* the lowprice spread)
salesman. It saved me $$ when the floppy drive in my SE died from too
many cat hairs.
