TA>CA>So you don't leave them plugged in long enough to see them fall
TA>CA>out on there own. ;-)

TA>CA>I still think it's a lousy design for a plug.

TA>But another excellant reason for useing some duct tape again.
TA>(I even now have some black duct tape that matchs much of the
TA>cabinetware so it doesn't look so jimminy-critity 8-)

TA>BTW I have found wrapping a small elastic rubber band around
TA>the plug body and under the plastic snap-in clasp helps some
TA>stubborn losers to stay in more securely (some sockets are
TA>less able to retain plugs then the plugs are able to retain
TA>themselves (almost sounds like my brother the lawyer /-)

I found that it is much simpler and safer to just replace the defective
cable. :-)
