[sdiy] +/- 15Vdc Power Switch

[Chromatest J. Pantsmaker]

Here in the states we have devices called "power strips".  I imagine
they exist in the rest of the world?  I plug all of my warts into one
or two of these.  The nice thing is that each strip has a mains
switch.  Then with one switch, I can turn all of my gear on or off.

Even with no load, those wall-warts are going to get hot, thus
reducing their life-span.
