OT: Business insurance for independent contractors

[Scott Prentice]

Check out techinsurance.com. We've got both professional liability and 
business insurance through them and have been very happy with their 
service and price. If you check around, you'll get wildly differing 
quotes for supposedly the same coverage. From what I found, most 
insurance brokers don't really understand the varying types of "tech" 
that need to be insured, and often lump them all into the same (very 
pricey) category.

Good luck!
