Re: THE RACK. Keeping to together...

I saw something else about a year ago that was really cool in Industrial 
Equipment News or some such catalog.  I've looked for them since, but 
haven't had any luck.  They were metal clips that attach to the mounting 
screws for standard IEC receptacles, which hold the IEC plug permanently 
into the receptacle.  Anybody else seen these?  They were made by some 
company that supplies power connectors for international use.

Furman Pluglock power strips are pretty nice, also.  They're pricey, 
though.
