convenient way of doing that than stringing 220 wire through the walls.

AAh, the slippery slope.  First, it's "I *could* rewire the whole house to 220 to
avoid using a transformer; this is *merely* a convenience."  Then it's "this Tyco
block *is* the same color, and I'm sure TLG would get around to making this shape

you;-) [1]



[1]  McSpamcake, how does that work -- praying to one on whose behalf you are
praying?  Or do we merely worship at Lar's feet, but pray to the real God?  What
about the First Commandment [2]?  Oh, oh, faith crisis....
[2] The real one, not "Thou shalt have no other bricks before Lego";-)
