purchasing equipment: extended warranties

What's the most precious TypeWell asset in the world??  Transcribers, of course!!  And the second most precious??  Their equipment . . .

When purchasing a netbook, laptop, microphone, or other transcribing equipment, consider extending the warranty to last several years, or as long as you plan to use that equipment.  Some credit card companies offer extended warranties on purchases made with their cards.  For example, most American Express cards have the Extended Warranty benefit, which will automatically extend the terms of an original U.S. manufacturer's warranty, if the original warranty is 5 years or less, and if the purchase is charged to the Card.
