At the wall, I buy this 6-outlet thingie that actually looks like a pyramid with the top leveled
off. You unscrew the wall plate, and this thingie plugs into the wall, and screws in where the
plate went. Every hardware store has them. Then, you can plug in say 3 or 4 (NOT 6!!!)
surge-protected outlets. Use extension cords to place outlets across room, NOT BY DAISY-CHAINING
across the room.
