Something I should'a done. Grumble grumble...

Line voltage is pretty stable. But you may be able to get better power
stability from one'a those newfangled switching wall-warts. They often
look like skinnier versions of normal wall-warts, but they're *much*
lighter. You may have one already. If not, the Free Geek Store has 'em.

Wouldn't rely on it. A good power supply should be stable anyway.
