Here is the approach that works for me: I bought a no hassle performance guarantee for my electronics stuff.
If the boat is hit by lightning, or a circuit board dies of corrosion, they will replace thekit with the equivalent available at the time of the claim.
W3 Solutions Inc is the service provider under the Mariners Product Protection extended service plan.
1455 Bellevue Avenue, West Vancouver BC, Canada v7T 1C3 1866-647-3512
They underwite the West Marine MPP plan.
The deal is this:
BEFORE your manufactuer's warrenty expires, on your iBook or Mac Mini, bring your receipt into a West Marine Store and buy a 2 year MPP plan for a bracket of dollars that covers your iBook replacement cost.
VERY IMPORTANT NEXT STEP: Register your purchase by phone with W3.
Relax and enjoy the iBook till it fails with corrosion.
Get it replaced under their warrenty terms.
This applies to any and all electronic stuff you get anywhere, not just computers.
I am not sure how this works outside North American, but W3 has a web site you could explore if you are curious
