They'll sell you one after the fact, I bet, if you still want one. They do make money on them overall or they wouldn't sell them at all.

I've never bought an extended warranty for electronic stuff and never had reason to regret it. Most electronics will break in the first three months or run for years.

On the other hand, I know enough about how stuff operates to not abuse it. If software things go bad, I know how to fix it or how to find out how to fix it.

Well yeah. Mbpark is a great resource, but if you know how a computer works you can generally find the information you need online or even in the manuals that came with the computer.
