Many years ago (30+), my grandmothers house was wired by running
cloth covered wires on insulators (like you see used for electric fences)
inside the house. (not inside the walls) One wire on each side of the
insulator. (No 3rd ground wire either)

Want to try hooking up a mainframe using that type of wiring?
