I have insured my computers with SafeWare for the last 3 years, both at home
and at work. Fortuantely, I haven't had to test their response yet :-)
the basic $5000 coverage costs $69, I believe. The policy says it covers
just about everything except theft from your car. They will cover software,
hardware, anything which you can back up with purchase receipts. They
will also cover damage to equipment or software from power spikes (or so they
claim)....
Another nice feature is that they will cover equipment that you borrow or
rent, which could be handy if you decide to take the office computer home
for the weekend.
