Extended warranty's?

[Robert Myers]

Be aware that the devil is in the details. Unless a specific 
system/subsystem is specifically listed as covered under the warranty it 
_isn't_ covered. This can leave some very expensive things as your problem 
when/if they fail. Be sure to read the exact wording of the coverage and 
watch closely for omitted items before you sign on the dotted line. You 
might well end up buying much less coverage than you are thinking of buying.

Good luck.
