Alan: Nice link! There's a can (steel) plant in the Twp that I work in; I was amazed on the quantity of cans, and the fact that they ONLY make the cans. Product is made somewhere else. After discussion with plant mgr, seems like the can making process is not welcomed in a lot of areas for enviro reasons.

Seriously, I've seen it in Austria... flush mount Schuko outlets screwed to a board using long wood screws, loose wires, no ground (as the genius took an old vacuum cleaner cord, much to the dismay of his wife who still wanted to use the old vac) and a regular staple as a "strain relief". Too bad digital cameras weren't available back then...
