- I grounded my IIci this way and it worked fine. Most hardware stores have
- a three prong to two prong adaptor with a screw connector for ground. When
- I worked at Los Alamos and as in dorms from WWII, I simply connected the
- ground to the heating pipes and away I went. I now carry the adaptor along
- with some wire everywhere my system goes.

- fry [and inductor problem?] and took out the motherboard - so now I
- wait for the new macs)
