NEVER cut a ground prong! Just get the little gray adapters that convert
3 prong to 2 with a green wire that has a spade lug on it. Plug the
power strip into the adapter, connect the adapter green wire to the
middle screw on the wall plug. If it's grounded it will be grounded, if
it isn't it isn't. Not your problem. Plug the adapter into the 2 prong
outlet. Point out to the owners that this is not the best connection but
they should be used to it since they must have had to do this all over
the house. Check and see how they have their microwave plugged.


BEST reply!!

Yes. My thought exactly.


Idiot.

If the outlet hasn't a ground wire, connecting the equipment ground to the
outlet's center screw won't help one damn bit.


It's not the computer installers problem as I said, idiot.


Irrelevent, you asshole moron.
