wow! thanks for all the comments! Just to clarify, all but one of the electrical outlets are like this, so to respond to Pretentious, as much as it seems like sound advice to use only 2-pronged plugs, that limits me completely. As for what I thought was a cable outlet, I'm not sure that that's what it is or if it's what some of you say might be an old outlet to a roof antenna. I guess I should figure that part out. The co-op owner had neither cable internet nor tv, but she did say that I could hook it up, so I don't think I'll find trouble getting permission from her to have whatever I need installed. GothamTomato, who was the licensed electrician that you used? Could I please have his/her contact info? As much as I'd like to make it a DIY project, I don't think I'm willing to risk any damage to an apartment that isn't my own. Thanks again for all your help! At least now I'll know if some shady electrician is just wasting time and overcharging, pretending to work on something just because he thinks I don't know any better. ;)
