Not only that, but you'll also get another Mac "for free" (less your deduct-
ible, of course) if your apartment burns down (depending on your policy, of
course).  At least with mine, I do - I hope.  However, you also awakened me
to an issue I had never given much thought to - I just replaced my SE with
a Mac II, and if there's a limit of $5000 for computer equipment, I may be
bummed big-time, especially if I also get a LaserWriter!!  I know the policy
covers $20K, but I'll have to check if computers are limited...  Thanks for
pointing that out!
