Default 2-prong to 3-prong

Hi,
I install home computers, and recently I was in a beautiful old house to
install a machine but found there were only two-prong ungrounded outlets.
I didn't know what else I could do, so I removed the grounding prongs from
a six-splitter and plugged that into the wall. I plugged the computer and
the LCD display into the six-splitter. Can someone tell me if this is
dangerous and if so how dangerous?
Thanks very much.

Explain it to the home owners, let them decide weather to go forward
or not,
Advise them to contact an electrician, and have them sign a release of
liability.
You may have just screwed yourself.
