Recently I had an expensive Nikon camera damaged by being knocked off a table to a concrete floor. Had I not had an extended warranty policy (read: insurance) the repairs would have cost me almost half of what the camera cost, because they had to send to Japan for major repair parts to rebuild it. As it was, what I paid for the policy was far less than the repair would have cost. Similarly, I had a hard disk die a few days after the extended warranty period expired, and CompUSA was good enough to "stretch" the expiration date and give me a new one at no cost. The cost of the extended warranty was about 25% of the cost of a new one. That's the major reason why I buy my components at CompUSA if they carry them. I believe in extended warranties. -- Phil Kane Beaverton, OR
