You're likely to have multiple wall-warts.


What is a wall-wart?

Just last night on Jay Leno's "Headlines" was a headline from a local
paper, "Plans for new Wal-Wart under discussion."

Those little power supplies that you plug into the electrical
outlets... PITA

I had one that came with a fax machine. It was 10 inches high and had
a polarized plug. It wouldn't do very well in an upside-down
receptacle.

Some catalogs sell a thing that' supposed to help. It's a 1-foot
1-outlet extension cord that costs too much. Use a regular extension
cord and you can use 2 or 3 wall-warts.
