insurance. It's a great policy, and extremely affordable. For $2000 =
worth of coverage it costs about $170 per year. It covers against theft =
and accidental damage. Our students use Lenovo laptops and, although they =
have ThinkPad Protection, I encourage our parents to purchase Safeware =
separately, in case the laptop is stolen or damage in some way that TPP =
won't cover it.

For more information about Safeware, give them a call at 1-800-800-1492.
