Default Request for copy of Insurance Policy Document for HP 110-1037NR Netbook

I'm about to purchase, through Office Depot, an HP Netbook 110-1037NR
for an 8th grader. It seems prudent to also get insurance for this
thing at time of purchase - and you apparently handle that. Now the
"associate" at Office Depot told me his understanding of the policy and
what's covered, but a copy of the actual insurance document is much more
complete and can be reviewed and, if necessary, clarified.

So - I'd appreciate receiving a copy of the insurance policy for this
NetBook - via e-mail.

Please e-mail to:

Thanks

For an 8th grader?. You do know that they're VERY creative when it
comes to disabling, killing, destroying, electronic equiptment. One of
my "adoptees" killed cell phones by
1. dropping in the toilet
2. dropping in a sink full of water
3. dropping in a tub full of water
4. dropped in the pool
5. spilled a soda on one
6. dropped one in a bowl of cereal - and milk
7. left it on the lawn and the sprinklers got it
8. dropped it in a puddle
and the one you'd probably never even think of
9. a dog peed on it

I haven't gone through the insurance policy, but I was told it'd
cover just about anything other than B-B-Qing the computer.
Might be a good buy IF (and it probably will) something happens
to this laptop (note the word "laptop" - which can easily become
floor top, or pool, or . . .

Not a bad investment at all, the insurance policy. I purchased a lap top
for my son in college and for my wife. I got the policy that covers
dropping, breaking, and etc. My wife had her computer setting on the coffee
table charging, Our Great Dane walked by and her tail caught the charger
cord, got scared and took off. The computer landed on the ceramic tile
floor upside down. No harm. Had I not gotten the insurance policy the
thing would have broken into one meal-yun pieces.

a "rider" on your home insurance policy is one thing, the policy sold by the
store is another - just watch the cost - and an 8th grader can take care of
things (at least mine could at that age). Maybe making clear that "you
break it, then you fix it" will apply will help develop a careful attitude.
Just like having my older daughter spend a whole summer painting and working
on the car she would drive ingrained in her the notion that you take care of
cars (and she still hates a jitterbug)

I would be fearful of using or making a claim on my home owners insurance
policy. My particular policy gives me a substantial discount, larger than
the insurance policy cost purchased with the computer for not having a
claim in the last 3 years.

And yes and 8th grader can take care of things but in this day and age where
schools have no authority to disepline the "kids" who knows what could
happen to some ones computer. Kids today are not as respectful of others
property as a result.
