    I was told by one agent that my computer was covered. When he ceased to
operate (as an agent), I learned from the new broker that the policy excludes
computer systems used for business. In fact, there's some question as to whether
I need a special "home office" rider to keep the rest of the policy in force.
     This is a "standard" condominium policy. I believe that the homeowner's
and renter's policies contain similar escape clauses.
