Can you still get into CES on the last day?

Boltz CD racks?
I've been using Boltz racks at home and in the office for about six years and have always used the wall bracket. In earthquake prone Los Angeles, I wouldn't feel safe without it. 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective

How can power cords make a difference?
