I wonder what home appliance would require such a massive amount of wattage? If i remember correctly, 2 amps will stop your heart. I wonder if plug covers are a steady sale item in the uk?

A quick question:
Does the UK standard "common" wall power plug looks similar to the north american one, but is slightly narrower? I wonder what voltage, amperage and the frequency they use...

Hi folks,

When I was back in the UK, I managed to amass quite a collection

of PC


power cords. Now I'm over here I'm stuck for them and local

stores want


to charge me ~$16 apiece.

Does anyone have any going spare? I'd gladly take them off your

hands at


the meeting tonight.

Alternatively, anyone know where I can get them for a more

reasonable>>price? I probably need about 5 or 6.


Cheers,
Chris.




Check Round-Again Software (on 17th Ave just west of 1st St.NE)

also - they

have bins of various cables at low prices. If memory serves, the

power cords

are a couple of bucks apiece.
