3 year applecare warranty - is it transferable

hi guys,

Giving serious consideration to buying a second hand macbook, the seller has bought applecare extended warranty. Is this transferable, and how do I go about getting it transfered over to me?

or is the warranty on the product id i.e. the macbook it self? so it doesnt matter if theres a new owner.

Please advise.

It's transferable, but I don't know how off the top of my head.

I always thought that the warranty is linked to the machine, not the owner? at least thats what I was told by the Apple guy when we bought the machine :S
