Banana plugs get their name from the fact that in the center, these plugs have a slight swelling to make absolute positive contact with the circuit they are supplying. :cheesygrin:Anaheim Hills CA,

She asked for some sand, and Ed suggested clay instead. Soon the neighbor would use nothing else, noting that the clay was much more absorbent than sand and didn't track all over the house. Ed had a hunch that other cat owners would love his new cat box filler, too, so he filled 10 brown bags with clay, wrote the name "Kitty Litter" on them, and called on the local pet store. With sand available for next-to-nothing, the shop owner doubted anyone would pay 65 cents for a five-pound bag of Kitty Litter Brand. "So give it away," Ed told him. Soon customers were asking for more–and were quite willing to pay for it. The rest, as they say, is history.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
