Hey Fella.....My leg is doing better and in fact I am about 1 1/2 hours away from a CEU Seminar as we speak. I am sitting beside my projector waiting for people to file in line.

Been a long road but I believe I am over the hump now and in fact I have 6 seminars in the next month so I better be ready as thats alot of standing...and those who have been to my seminars I dont like standing still....I jump around alot...lol

Thanks again for asking......I tell you it has been nice cheer up moments when Gerry B and Stephen call me on the phone...thanks guys.....

Actually, the large round pin is the ground bonding conductor.

Thank you, Paul A.

Maybe, if you say so, but the bare wire behind the receptacle is the grounding conductor. Even more precisely the "equipment grounding conductor".
At least until 2008.

Are they grounded outlets?
