Has anyone had any experience with Safeware insurance? Is this policy for real? I recently sent my money and received a seemingly legitimate policy, but they never asked for an inventory of my equipment and software. How do they settle claims? Do they? --- Mitchell L Model cca!mirror!mmodel (mirror!mmodel@cca-unix.ARPA)

I considered them, but called my own insurance agent first. (This applies under my policy and wisconsin law) He told my that even with business use, my computer equipment was covered in my home. He did say that policies varied on this. I bought $100 deductible coverage on my mac, imagewriter and drive for something like $15/year, as I occasionally take them to the office or elsewhere. -- William Cox Computer Sciences Department University of Wisconsin, Madison WI bill@wisc.crys.edu ...{ihnp4,seismo,allegra}!uwvax!bill

My State Farm homeowner's insurance included $3,000 of coverage. Because I also have a C-64 and printer, etc., I decided to buy the optional rider ($10 for an additional $5,000 of coverage). 6 months later some scum took everything. But, one deductible (when you're talking $8,000+, it's hard to keep track of a few $100) applied to all home furnishings. Again, check with your agent re the business use issue. -- Joel West (619) 457-9681 CACI, Inc. Federal, 3344 N.
