NeatTools (an open-source project I work on) is finally (thanks to me) getting some documentation and media, out there on the web. It’s early days yet, but there is a new wiki and a YouTube Channel both with growing amounts of information. Here’s the first video to get you started:
Maximizing Wall Warts on a Power Strip
by Paul on Feb.15, 2009, under Good Idea, How to
If you are like me, then you have about 137 wall warts and no way to plug them in. Newer wall warts tend to be more “outlet-friendly”, but many still will not allow use of adjacent outlets when plugged in. Grrrr!
To help solve this dilemma I buy short power cords to move the wall warts off the strip. Maybe you already do this. A good, reasonably inexpensive source for these is Jameco (about $2.50). They also sell a twofer cable for about $6.50.
