Just like to know WHY there is not more than this bland reaction to problems like this??
Why should a power cable BREAK OFF INSIDE a machine?? Is that acceptable to you and brutus users? and if it is why?? This is extremely serious, and if 120 volts won't give you a serious shock you are mistaken. "while broken power cords are not preferable, it > is not a perfect world and this is what GFI circuits are for." are you serious?? YUP! that's what GFIs are for!! to protect us from shitty workmanship! puhleeze On Aug 26, 8:26 am, Ben McCafferty <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey BlaneXOLT, > > I'm curious why you are needing to tell us all about this?
