[Scan-DC] Power distribution

[yorkfd at juno.com]

Doug,

A few thoughts come to mind. I discovered Liberator power strip short
extension cords, which I now use at home and at work to be able to use
all of the outlets in a power strip.

Then I also thought of the Power Squid, which has all of the outlets
already on cords.

But then, I thought you may want to conside changing over to a Tripp Lite
outlet strip, where the outlets are spaced further apart. I've seen these
used in command posts, on work benches, etc. to provide plenty of outlets
with some space between them.

Liberator cords are probably the least expensive solution, but I can see
any of them working for you.
