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...
