The only Apple I own is one of the G3 iMacs. I do, however, own a Dell laptop like the guy above. It's about a year and a few months old. When I got it, I went ahead and got the 3 year warranty and the 3 year CompleteCare warranty thing. I've so far not had to use either, even though I've spilled an entire glass of water on it and, later, a can of freshly opened Pepsi. The first I called tech support and they told me to take the power cord and the batteries out and sit it on its side open, kind of like a book. The guy explained that I could send it in and get it fixed for free if anything was wrong with it after letting it thoroughly dry, since I had the CompleteCare. The second time I took the thing apart myself and washed all the parts off with tap water and let them all dry for about a day. Both times I noticed the screen flicker a bit before I got the batteries and the power cord out. Both times the thing worked perfectly after everything dried. I must say that if somebody is bad on laptops they should get a Dell add CompleteCare if they're like me.
