Win a power cord.

Cornfedboy: Thank you very much. I really am not some sort of hero. I rather enjoy making power cords and the Adoption Fund just helps me justify my hours of tweaking audio stuff. :) Anyway, I wise man once said, "Those who only seak self-fulfillment, never find it."

Dekay: Good idea but we only have one type of plug. All of our cords are both the "budget cord" and top of the line!
Reason we have only one type of plug? Well, I found one that works well and see no reason to mess with something that works.

Thanks everyone... keep them coming!

"Adopta-Cord"

Call it "Charity" - the charity cord

Kevin, it sounds like you've found a creative way to help fund a good cause. I've traveled through Guatemala and have seen first-hand the staggering poverty that exists there. Thank you for taking initiative to help out and spread some of the wealth. Given the nature of your cause, why not call your new DIY power cord the "M-power" cord (or alternatively, the "Empower" or "Impower" cord)? This would be suggestive of the fact that it helps to empower the less fortunate as well as empowering hi-fi gear. Here's a definition from Webster: "Empower - 1. To give legal or moral power or authority to; to authorize, either by law, commission, letter of attorney, natural right, or verbal license;... 2. To give physical power or force to; to enable." Seems fitting since what you're doing is working to convey some moral power, as well as developing a product designed to enable electronic gear. A subsequent cord model could be the "N-power." Don (FYI, I couldn't find the "New Stories" link you referred to above, so I accessed your website via www.geocities.com/kevperro2000).
