Hmmmm...Why didn't I think of that?

| Is wall space at that much of a premium? Two sets of regular
receptacles will be cheaper and perhaps more reliable considering the
lack of moving parts. Perhaps as a replacement for existing receptacles
these 360s would be an option, but Plugmould (PDF warning
http://snipurl.com/pa5c like a power strip) would be better.

| Your responses are too abbreviated and sarcastic for me to understand.
Are you saying these 360s would look nice in a bathroom above the sink?
A GFCI would usually go there. And what do you mean by "prospective
buyer"? Do you mean you shouldn't design a home to include Plugmould?
This 360 receptacle is for retrofits. New homes have plenty of
receptacles.
The 360 product you linked to is just a duplex receptacle that allows
two transformer plugs to be used at the same time because they can be
inserted askew. The product isn't even in production. But if you see
potential, feel free to capitalize on it when they become available.

Short, sweet, hard to beat.
Yours go off on an irrelevant tangent.

That's ONE possibility.

ONE would go there.

Not unless it's in a utility area.

Nope.

No, they don't; they usually have the minimum of one every eight feet.

That's one use, but I have a number of appliances that if one item is
plugged into it, the seond receptical is blocked.

So?

Geezz...that's mighty generous of you.
