From my experience, AppleCare must be some kind of insurance to keep your Mac from needing service. I've had AC on three of my Macs, and, with each, the AC ran out without being used. Now the two without AC? Yup. Both needed repair. Amex repaired one, and I sold the other for parts. You can't win, you know.
