An unexpected good thing

I have been using an Apple airport express to stream Itunes music to my Hi-Fi system. It has been over a year now and the warranty has expired. I went to the Apple care center and was told that Apple does not service peripherals. They just did a one for one exchange. And they confirmed that the airport express is out of warranty. But the service guy told me that if the computer that was attached to the airport express was still under warranty, they would still do the exchange. That was an interesting piece of information as I had a Mac Pro still under warranty. So I got a one for one exchange on the airport express. And we all sooooo expect Apple servicing to cost us an arm and a leg. =)
