I kept my wife's Thinkpad on IBM maintenance. It was about $350 a year but she broke it far more than that. (a keyboard a year on avearge, a system board, a display and a bunch of cables over 6 years).
I dropped M/A now that it is safely out of the way just running my weather station. http://home.comcast.net/~gfretwell/weather/esteroweather.jpg
