How important are grounded 3-prong outlets?
#12
When I had an electrician come out and upgrade my house, he replaced the two prong outlets with three prongs, and instead of running new cable, he installed a GFCI in the first outlet on each circuit. A grounding problem anywhere on the circuit will pop the GFCI -- there's a couple milliseconds of lagtime, but not enough to pose a threat.
