Because we all have so much disposeable income...
I just got a notice that support for my router will be lapsing in a week. I haven't needed it so far... I was considering having it extended until I was brutally shocked by the cost to extend it. 6 months for $70 and 1 year for $90. OMG thanks! That much for something I most likely won't use. I think I purchased this router for about that much and then I paid $20 extra for a free replacement plan (I think that's whats up or is that up in a few months?) Either way, this is just another example, along with printers, some cell phones, and other things that illustrate how companies want a constant grapple on your check book - whether it be with a costly service or with a complete replacement at a comparable price. Insane.
Eh well, lucky I'm my own tech support!
