Rumor has it that Mr Ian Primus may have mentioned these words:
Is there even a way to have a computer collection
insured?
Sure... mine is. It's thru State Farm and is a rider on my homeowners
insurance. It currently costs me about $90/year (but the inventory's a bit
old so if things went up in smoke, a few of the computers wouldn't be paid
for) but IIRC it's $0 deductible, and covers replacement costs on all of my
main computer & electronic stuff, my main computers, TV, digital camera, etc.
I got it right after my wife dropped my (then) $700 Epson digital camera,
which cost over $300 to repair. About a year later, it got taken out by a
lightning storm with my main computer, 2 weeks later I had a check in hand,
and 2 weeks after that, I had a new (and at the time, schweet) 1Ghz P3
system & a Nikon Coolpix 5000.
The insurance paid for itself for many years to come... ;-)
