I almost forgot...there's exciting news at the Sharp Pointed Stick house! After enduring endless months of begging and pleading from my wife, I just bought (nice crisp buzz roll with the lightweight sticks, please) a brand new laptop yesterday at Best Buy -- it's our first! The bouncing new arrival is an Acer with 1024MB processor (I think?), 160GB hard drive, DVD burner, 15" LCD, etc. -- it even has a built-in keyboard...wow. The little guy was cheap, too - only 500 bucks on clearance. I bring this fabulous news to the reader's attention because I need your advice: I'm not sure what the wisest service contract choice is in this case. Our darling laptop will probably travel a lot, and we have a two-year old that he'll have to get along with. We plan to take care of the little bugger, but accidents do happen -- drops, scrapes, anvils dropping on the screen, that sort of thing.
Do I:
(A) Get the one-year with accidental damage ($99 - I think)
(B) Get the two-year with accidental damage ($199)
(C) Get the three-year with accidental damage ($249)
(D) Blow the the money at the Elgin casino, since it was so cheap and the equivalent will probably go for about $200 in three years based on the current deflation trend
I know what some of you are thinking -- the answer is always (C). But I'm a cheapskate and proud of it. Your comments?
