First we start with the realization that many electronic retailers make
more percentage profit when selling the extended warranties than they
do on the items themselves. They are great little earners for the
borgs.

All extended warranty contracts make the retailers money. If they didn't
they would not be offered. Its a gamble that the consumer takes and
normally comes out on the short end of the stick on. In my case the
additional cost of the contract included 3 years virus protection and deep
additional discounts that probably came closer to Dell employee pricing than
any other deal.
