Do you buy extended warranties for you electronic and appliances? The main thing I want is a 3 year manufacturer's warranty on my computers. I do expect my computers to last that long. Otherwise, I don't buy extended warranties. Consumer Reports [1] has apparently been recommending against extended warranties for a long time. Now, though, they have two exceptions, rear-projection TVs and Apple computers. No problem here, I don't expect to ever purchase either of these.
