Be careful, though; sometimes these things really do want power cords
that can carry more current. I notched a cord once to replace a cord
that went missing when the NCR Tower went to a trade show. It worked,
but a couple days later I got a "smells like smoke in the lab" report
and found it had browned a bit.
