> ***Make your own "PowerSquid"
> Have you seen the "PowerSquid" on ThinkGeek? It's a very cool,
> five-outlet power strip that allows you to plug in those bulky square
> adapters. The Make team was going to order one, but they were out of
> stock and so they made their own--with a total of eight outlets--for
> almost half the price. Here's the simple cheap version.
