Post The Gremilins Strike Back

After years of good services my poor computer is gone!

But I made a full backup of my Poser material and the insurance will pay another!

I wish we could make the gremlins pay for the damages for a change.  I hope you will soon have your new computer installed and configured the way you like it.

Are you still located in it?   My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that.

I thought that Geico is just insures automobiles.  ... and no, Geico does not have a sister company named Girlco.

No computer insurace here either.  I doubt anyone would offer coverage at a resonable price for home built computers made from parts between 5 and 20 years old.

When I build a new computer, I try to salvage anything possible from my prior one.  Then I get whatever other parts I need from one vedor or another, so my boxes are not the sort that the insurance people can predict the lifespan of.  So they would usually clasify them as uninsurable.  That is the case even when all the parts are industry standard and current.  Besides, it is usually cheaper to repair or even rebuild a machine myself bearing the cost myself than it is to pay the premiums.  I built the machine that I am writing this on now almost ten years ago, other than somthing minor like a dead floppy drive, it still works fine.  Replacing a floppy drive was cheaper than the cost of a service contract.  That would have been a lot of cash wasted on insurance premiums.

Here there isn't such a large "insurance culture", nobody I know would spend money to insure a home PC, even because here in Italy the frauds are very common   ...

LoL... It remind me something interesting to explain what I mean... Some times ago I had a little car crash with a truck who was manouvering to enter a gate in reverse gear. As far as I know it was a "half and half" case, a case when the insurance would pay half the damage to everyone and punish everybody with the loose of the "insurance class" for the next year (we have a so called "bonus-malus" system here). But the driver of the truck said me "you'll never get a money from this, don't think about it", I replied: "I think nothing, I will call the local police", and so I made. He has three witnesses for him and I none, the police simply took the measures and made nothing.

I called the insurance explaining what happened. Here in Italy we had a person that the insurance company calls to determine the amount of damage and how it will costs, the "estimator", and I knew that my insurance uses the same person every time. Also I suspected (for certain) that this person take a percentage from a certain "coach repairer" (I haven't find the translation, he is the person who repairs the coach of the car) So I said to him  "O:)     I'm not interested in taking money for the damage, let the insurance pay directly the "coach repairer"   , it's enough for me to have the car repaired without the problem to pay it"... A sudden sparkle in the estimator's eyes and he said :"Ok, I'll call the insurance, no problem, I'll call you at home..."

So the insurance paid me all the amount and now my car is been repaired, I'll take it home in the weekend       ...

Once you know the "italian way" you can live happier here
