"...there was a time when there was no such thing as a three prong plug or a three hole receptacle.I got lucky, I did not grow up in the U.S.A. No shocks for me. Well, yes shocks but not because of transition. They were all due to stupidity out of curiosity. 220V has a certain feel to it.
During the transition, many folks received mild electric shocks ;~)"
