More to be a smart-ass than anything, but what good is insuring one of a
kind data?  It's the data you're after, not the money, and if it's lost,
you not only lose the data for good, but you then have the uphill
challenge of trying to convince Fedex that the 30 year old unfinished
video game that may or may not have been retrievable from your old floppy
disks was worth what you insured it for.

I'm in touch with the author and will be taking care of this ;)
