Result
------
I called them and coverage on $10k of computer equipment at any location
would be about $109/year.
Other answers
-------------
Somebody else also suggested Safeware. Many suggested that I be sure
and check existing policies covering the premises, perhaps for unrealized
coverage or to add a rider. It was also suggested that purchasing a
homeowners or tenants policy might provide coverage.
Thanks to all
