Two years at $321 sounds better. Since my backup Thinkpad is a refurb, and now out of warranty, the service pac is a good idea.
Thanks Bob for posting this to the list.

Subject: [Thinkpad] Coverage for out-of-warranty thinkpads
Here's an interesting offer to get service on out-of-warranty thinkpads. At $169 for 1 year of coverage, it sounds like it could be a good deal. Comments ?

Is your ThinkPadŽ out-of-warranty? Buy now for incredible savings. Service charges on out-of-warranty machines can run as high as $600 per incident. Why run the risk of costly per-call repairs?
