I just uppacked my new Mac and was somewhat set back by all the
"IMPORTANT, this thing must be connected to a grounded outlet"--
warnings. Unfortunately we only have grounded outlets in the kitchen,
bathroom and cellar, places not ideal for this purpose (the kitchen 
is nice, but there was also a warning about coffee etc). Do I have
to install more grounded outlets or are there other alternatives
(like ignoring the warning).
