Joe, sent me a comment..
dude… all you need for extended AppleCare is a tax ID. I’m in Florida also, and its easy to get and worth it so you can buy your Apple gear as a “business”. I just extended mine, and the ID is all they needed to sell it to me.

This is true. I knew this. However, how many times has the mainboard been replaced in your machine Joe? The iBook’s on it’s 3rd mainboard (that’s 2 replacements), I shouldn’t have to spend $300 and get a Tax ID so that I can have them replace it again 3 months down the road. I got a lemon. I want it taken care of.

I sent Customer Relations and Steve Jobs a letter yesterday.
