Why is it that computer companies are "just about" the only ones who get the concept of an INLINE transformer instead of one at the end attached to the to the prongs you plug into an outlet/power supply? I mean it blows my mind that so many electronic devices have a transformer built into the plug that is 2+ square inches and most of the time end up covering TWO plug slots on power supplies(and by this I mean like surge protection strips to "multiple" the number of available outlets")

Hence the brilliance of both the Power Squid and the Power Strip Liberator or just simply an 8" extension cord !

(Not sure if there are non NEMA 5-15P version of these for other countries...)

Hmmm yea... seen the power squid before, but not the liberator which is pretty cool. But thats a) one more thing I have to find, b) one more thing to buy once I find it, and c) adding an intermediary "adapter" product just points to flawed design that should be fixed..... Anyway, thanks for the link to the liberator... that's rather handy for all of the existing power strips and block transformers I already have.
