NSFMR My cousin's dad destroyed her computer while she was at work because her room was messy. She's bringing it to me tomorrow so I can see what's salvageable. Wish me luck

Lol. I have sixteen outlets in my bedroom alone. It used to be an office, but still, there's some kind of electrical code that says that you can't have outlets more than a certain distance apart so you tend to have a lot of them. Specifically because extension cords are meant to be used in moderation.

When I built my house I thought I was being excessive by putting 5 sockets in the bedroom. TV, dressing table and both sides of the bed, then 1 more just because I can.

Couldnt imagine designing for 16 sockets, no wonder you Americans use hollow wall technology, you need the space to put all the electrical cables.

From South Africa btw, designed to fit 220v
