[Titanium] Insurance Cover for Powerbooks

[Bryan Forbes]

My experience is that they depreciate out the unit.  The home insurance 
I had my Tibook under dealt with a specific company that did 
replacements.  They couldn't find a Tibook at that moment in time like 
I had so they gave me $ towards the purchase of an Albook.  Couldn't be 
happier with it ...

Make sure you don't underinsure it ... mine wasn't stolen, but I had a 
bad case with a velcro latch.  I was holding the laptop at an angle and 
it slipped out of the case and crashed to the floor.  A specific rider 
on my insurance covered my Tibook only to fair market value.  How they 
determine that, I'm not quite sure.
