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).
Win a power cord.
Hey, we are having a contest. A little fun that started out as a joke but I thought I would share it with the Audiogon crowd. We build a cable to support our charity (see link: http://www.audiovideonews.com and click on "New Stories") Anyway, we have run into a problem in that we don't have a name for the power cord that we sell. I came up with the brilliant idea of having a contest where people could offer suggestions. Winner (decided by me) gets a free 6ft Power Cable. Maybe 70242.241 could win a power cord and see the light! Anyway... all proceeds for the sale of cords go to benefit our charity. See following link:
