[ARC5] [BoatAnchors] 125 VAC Line? Make Your BA's Happy, Cheap.

[Scott Robinson]

Folks,

If you have small children in the house, you can replace your grounded 
outlets with ones that are unpowered until the long U-ground pin is all 
the way in. If you have older, ungrounded outlets, you can get ones in 
which you insert the pins a little and turn the plug 90 degrees to insert.

While I agree that you could get zapped on a US plug, I've never had it 
happen to me.

Yours for un-zapped fingers,

/scott
