What ground? ;-)
I live in an older house with cloth-covered wireing and no three prong
jacks except in the laundry room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. I know,
I'll get around to rewiring, but everything has been running just great
groundlessly.
You don't want to walk barefoot on the slab in the basement and touch
anything metal though.....
Regards,
Jeff
