Something I found out the other day about AppleCare warranties which I guess everyone else already knows but I was just to stupid to realise: it turns out that the product you're trying to protect must still be within its original one-year warranty. Yeah, I know, seems obvious. So obvious in fact that Apple doesn't see the need to post this information anywhere on the Apple Store or in the copy of the Terms and Conditions which they make available on-line. It is, however, written on the side of the AppleCare box. In small grey letters.
They're in the process of refunding my money, but it still leaves me with a first-gen, one-year-and-thirteen-days-old MacBook Pro which could find itself in need of expensive warranty work at any moment.
