In-line interrupters are also available from place like
Home Depot. They run for about $8, and are simply a foot
of extension cord with a small box that watches for
current flow to ground.
I'd hoped I could get by without grounding. Sounds like
that isn't likely to work.
The apartment I live in only has grounded power in one room.
It is of course at the wrong end of the apartment..;)
I see a large orange extension cord and one of the inline
GFCI bits in my future..;)
