There have been stories here of people in your situation being offered retroactive coverage if they buy Apple Care. A matter of finding the right rep at Apple, by the sound of it. It's understandable that not everyone has time to play that game. Glad you're up and running.
Thanks for the sentiment, Black... To clarify, this was a machine with AppleCare coverage, but the extended term expired in December. I bought the machine Dec. 2007, so my three years was up. I've heard of cases where units recently out of warranty are repaired gratis, but it looks like 57 days was outside that window. If i could have found a song-and-dance to save me $310, i'd have sung and danced it for sure! I tried my best wheedling and cajoling, but no budging from Apple.
Edit: Yeah - what GGD said.
