!!! DANGER WILL ROBINSON !!!

Please try to make sure the two PC's are plugged in to the same power strip,
or at the very least strips plugged in to the same outlet.  While most
houses are wired correctly, if someone managed to flip the hot and neutral
lines on one outlet, or (possibly, but probably not) if the two outlets
involved are on separate phases, Bad Things can happen.  It's easy to avoid
those situations, please do; losing data is a sin, mmmmkay?
