Get one of these & there will be no questions as to if you're outlets are properly grounded on not.

oh...yeah mine has a green led.
it says "protected"
I had an extention cord with a broken pin(fat pin) and I tried using it.
even then the green light was on and said protected.I guess everything should be fine.
Already found a 3 prong outlet anyway..hihi ! ;D

Can't you just get one of those outlets that they use in bathrooms with the "test" and "reset" buttons on them?  Won't those give you many of the benefits of a ground even if you don't have a ground wire running through the house?  I forget what they're called, but outlets are EXTREMELY easy to install.  If you can build an arcade cabinet installing a new outlet is easier than getting out of bed in the morning.

Those outlets are called GFI )Ground fault interupt) outlets but I don't think they will work without a ground.
