I wish they would introduce a small, low power (2A?) plug/socket so my PC

I designed one thats compatible with existing 13A sockets, and sockets
that will take either 2x 3 pin plugs or 6x 2 pinners. Wouldnt have the
first idea what to do with it though.

This is the one thing I liked about the old French round pin system,
very compact. Plus you could use the adaptors christmas tree style,
with 10-20 plugs in one mains socket.

IECs arent a good solution imho, since theyre incompatible, making your
appliances not pluginnable wherever you want. Imho its the very
opposite of a move forward. The most fundamental point of plugs and
sockets is that you can plug the things in. With IECs you routinely
cant. Unless of coruse you install them everywhere.
