[C320-list] Power Cord

[Chris Burti]

Thank you. I've really been very pleased with the upgrade and I believe that I may have figured out how to finesse a cover for the cord.  I'll add an update if it works. 

By the way, if anyone has sent me an article or material for an article and it hasn't been published, please let me know by an off list email. I had a hard drive crash and I'm not certain everything was recovered. 

Best Regards,
Chris Burti
