You can get a 6 ft 16 gauge extension cord, rated       for 13A, from Lowe's for US$1.78 plus tax and interest on your credit card.        My opinion is that for this small amount of money, it is not worth risking       your life by being a        cheapskate.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
