Passing strange.  You might check again, they changed some rules a
couple months ago about who's qualified.

Ok, you've gotten a bum steer; I just checked with them.  Your're
welcome to have either or both if you otherwise qualify.  Give 'em a
call 800 531-8722 (0 will cut through the menu layers pretty
well).  Or go to usaa.com.

Incidentally, my folks' house was from 1905 and had knob-and-tube
(safe unless you touch a life contact), the armored stuff -- BX I
guess (questionable depending on install date) and Romex
wiring.  They insured it from '74 to '07 with no complaints.
