The great thing about living in a house from the 1700s is the
wonderful electrical system. Who knows when it was installed! I
know a lot of the outlet in my house are not grounded... since
they're two prong... ewww. Also, though my outlet is 3 prong, I
don't know if I trust it. What's a good way to check? Should I put
a voltmeter from one of the AC lines to the ground, and then the
other AC line to the ground, to check to see if I get voltage both
ways? Eh. I'm not doing this tonight! ::laughs:: Man. An
electical nightmare, my house is. Toasted, I fear my gear will be.
Yoda, I will be speaking like tonight.
